Report: Google in acquisition talks with Digg
Posted on July 24th, 2008 at 6:36 amSocial-news site Digg.com, a perpetual target of acquisition rumors, is in “final negotiations” to sell itself to Google for $200 million, according to a TechCrunch report Tuesday that cited multiple sources.
Google has been in talks to bring Digg into the Google News group, but it could be a few weeks before the deal closes, if it closes, according to the report.
Representatives for Google and Digg did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Usually a “no comment” or the like is the response to questions about rumored acquisition negotiations. However, that was not the case in March–when the Digg takeover rumor mill was in full swing.
