  Did Kevin Rose Take Some of Digg’s New Cash? - GigaOM
  Google apparently has walked away from acquisition of Digg. Maybe they don’t like the fact that 1% of the users are generating 32% of the visits: the black market of paid Digglers. Also seems that Kevin Rose has taken out some cash in the recent $30M round. Smart. Might never see that valuation again.
