Rumors have been flowing the past months about a negotiation between Google and Digg. The two companies reportedly signed a letter of intent nearing a deal of around $200million which will put Digg under the Google News property.
I wonder where Microsoft will be placed after this sale, if you don’t know yet, Digg has a 3-year ad arrangement
with them.
Digg has been popular for its voting concept that fascinated Google.
A US judge ordered Google to hand over log-in names of YouTube users and Internet protocol (IP) addresses identifying which computers they used for viewing videos to Viacom, in part of the gigantic court case between them.
“The court’s erroneous ruling is a set-back to privacy rights and will allow Viacom to see what you are watching on YouTube,” Google senior litigation counsel Catherine Lacavera said.
“We urge Viacom to back off this overbroad request and Google to take all steps necessary to challenge this order and protect the rights of its users.”
I was checking into some forums, social sites and blogs earlier as I am looking for some possible link partners and ended into sites filled with busby seo challenge links for competitors. 
even web directories! Seems like everyone’s going crazy to get every link space in the web.
Every participant will surely do everything they can just to grab the $5000 top prize, though black hat is not allowed, there’s surely one or two that will use it, either for the benefit of their sites or for pulling down other’s site and it makes me wonder what if that happens to me or any other participants? Well, it’s part of the game and makes it more exciting…
