Can Newspapers Be Saved?
Have you noticed the number of layoffs being announced by newspapers of late?

Rumor: Google To Buy Digg For $200 Million?
There are ways in which Digg is like YouTube: it’s the “brand” in a competitive “social news” segment that also features Yahoo Buzz, AOL’s Propeller, MySpace News, Reddit, Ask Big News and, by some counts, more than 80 others. Similarly, YouTube was the “brand” in a crowded video segment when Google acquired the company. Digg […]
