This is the best thing that has ever happened.
Digg pages are unusually slow, this is going to fix that.
Besides, since google owns digg, they can crawl through all the digg entries more easily.
This means articles submited to Digg will surely come up in google search.

OMG, this makes lot of sense. Why didn't Microsoft think of acquiring Digg?? They wasted lot of time running behind Yahoo!. More increase in internet revenues for google.

+1
Google owns...

* the #1 search portal
* a leading email service
* a leading customized home page
* a leading feed reader
* the leading feed management system
* the leading analytics product
* the largest distributed ad network
* the most widely distributed traffic monitoring toolbar
* the largest video content hosting site
* Google collects data from millions of Google accounts every day

And now Digg


It won't be totally wrong if we say, Google owns the Web

This aint very good. However good Google may be, we cant let it take over everything. Too much power corrupts all.
