Digg frontpage is junk. Good stories never hit the front and those that do get to front are buried by losers. I say Rose sell it as its lossing its power. Agreed with Random. Digg frontpage is junk.

The evidence being how he feigned being too poor to even buy a couch ( one time long ago on diggnation ) , when he was raking in thousands with adsense on digg.

It doesn't need any help from Microsoft to do that. I used to be able to open the front page of digg and find actual news articles on things that mattered. Now the front page is dominated by top ten lists from cracked.com and pictures that have been floating around the anals of the internet for the last decade. Rose is better off getting out now, while he can still make a buck off of it. More power to him. Well, Digg is already going down hill on its own anyway.

Are you 10 years old? Check up on MS history and I think you'll find tactics like this go all the way back to... the founding of the company! "Might this happen again, or are Rose and Co too blinded by the color of green to give in to their users’ demands yet again?" Or maybe they grow tired of their unruly user base and see this as a good opportunity to cash out on the business that I'm sure they put together to... you know.... MAKE MONEY? Honestly I doubt they started the site to give all the poor, disenfranchised bored tech workers/college students a safe haven on the web. More likely they saw an opportunity to create a new sort of site that could potentially be very sticky and lucrative; and we've now reached the lucrative portion of the game! “Is Microsoft the new colonizing giant of the software industry?”

Everything is. However, control is the preliminary steps into getting that pot of gold. Some of these company's are making desperate moves to control very risky platforms. Yes, Digg may be big now but who knows - in 6 months it could be on the decline like Ask.com and Tubgirl.com Yes, I agree that it is about money. Everything is.

Hopefully he'll use that money to bring back techtv, in which if it does happen, a company will make a bid for techtv, effectively turning it into what g4 is now, sunrise- sunset.
