Considering Reddit's exit strategy last year, it makes sense to evaluate if Digg will be up for grabs this year. While LinkedIn and Facebook have signalled towards a possible IPO, Digg hasn't. So in your opinion, will Kevin Rose receive his big paycheck this year? Who is likely to acquire them, and for how much?

Digg's generated revenue is still nothing to sneeze at (an article in BusinessWeek reports that they brought in $3 million in ad revenue for 2006). I wouldn't be surprised if they held out for quite a while longer.

Kevin Rose seems to be putting a lot of energy into Revision3 right now. Seeing as Digg is a integral part of some of their productions, I think they'd like to retain control.
