Why doesn't Digg sell its platform? If not, licence news networks like CNN and FOX to use the platform, hosted or otherwise. Most news sites now have a "user generated" section that could take advantage of "digging" natively. Do what wufoo did for forms. Should have sold when you had the chance :P

Reddit for Independent(a UK newspaper) does not seem to work: http://reddit.independent.co.uk/ http://reddit.independent.co.uk/ Maybe there's not a market for their platform.
