I think the top problem with Digg is that the biggest founder, Kevin Rose, simply has no incentive to follow through and give Digg a good exit.
His shares in Digg are too diluted and he's too heavily-invested outside of Digg for that to ever be a possibility. He probably made more off of the sale of ngmoco than he would with Digg.
As weird as it might sound, my ideal Digg situation is that Kevin buys back shares from VCs (everyone knows Digg's over-funded) to get some sort of monetary incentive to perform.
Digg's potential is so great. It's just sad to see it go down like this.
