Recently, Google has been in negotiations with Digg to acquire the company in the $200 million range. Apparently though, Google walked away from the deal on Friday.
According to Cootidbits.net, sources are indicating there was something about the management or basic technology about how Digg works that was to blame. Kevin and Co. seem to be doing fine, though, with their current venture funding of $11 million.
