TechCrunch is reporting that Google and Digg may be in the final stages of what looks to be a $200 acquisition of Digg by Google.

I dunno.  This seems insane to me.  Digg’s user base, while expanding basically consists of the gang at Abraham Harrison a lot of technology, marketing and social media types.  It think of it as a mainstream service that hasn’t fully hit mainstream yet.  Just about, but not yet.  And I see it as cool technology that can be replicated, especially by the slew of geeks that work at Google.

Maybe Digg has developed enough of a brand, but it seems far too high a price.  The site can be hard to maneuver on and can seemingly play favorites.  I guess they came on the scene at the right time and then performed well.
