Google walks away from Digg deal

Digg has turned down a number of potential suitors. Microsoft and Al Gore's Current top the list, but Google has gotten back at Digg for standing up all its dates by leaving Digg at the alter. A rumored $200 million deal to buy Digg was reportedly called quits for unknown reasons by Google. Maybe Google saw this on the front page, and realized how stupid the site's readers are. Maybe Kevin Rose challenged Eric Schmidt to a chugging contest. Or maybe TechCrunch invented this whole imagined buyout, and has now tied it all into a neat little package it can quietly disappear after netting them hundreds of thousands of reads. Who knows?

Adelson: "..and a pony. I want a pony for me and Kevin..."
Google: "No fuckin' way. We're done here!"

Setter says

Google decided to go straight to the source by buying 4chan and reddit.

I think Digg should mix things up a bit and offer to buy Google.
