The Word on the Web: Few days ago this couple have been in talks behind closed doors, not Romantically, both are currently dating other people, but behind a secret deal.
The word on the street is that Google's Princess is trying to push for Digg's buyout priced at $200 Million
How will this marriage work? Apparently Google is still trying to improve Google News lately and with the success of Digg's Social bookmark Popularity. Last month Google and Digg have confirmed a deal in the works but nothing else has leaked out since then.
Future Possibilities: Google has been trying to get a piece of the highly popular social networking platforms. They have been using Myspace over the years as an ad source.
Digg can help increase Google's search results because Digg is based on user's content whats hot and what's not worth reading. This can vastly change the search results in the future.
