Why Digg Should Buy StumbleUpon
- iamdave 18y ago* "From what I’ve been able to glean from various sources," * ". In this current economic climate, eBay is going to have a tough time finding a buyer, never mind one that would be willing to pay such a price. " * "eBay could have its cake and eat it, too...by selling it to Digg in exchange for equity in the combined entity." None of these quotes in the article link back to any reliable source that would give any reasonable foundation for their own interest. Aside from a link back to TechCrunch (checking your sources does not mean finding another article that says the same thing) that doesn't tell the reader much, there's no real reason to think Digg, an entity of it's own would want to buy StumbleUpon.
- shadytrees 18y agoIf eBay had any faith in its system, it would auction StumbleUpon off on eBay. And then have something go wrong and fight with the faceless eBay entities for weeks before getting some of its money back.
- Kilimanjaro 18y agoSince digg has no money at all and microsoft is funding digg, I assume you meant microsoft should buy stumbleupon?
- ojbyrne 18y agoYou must have missed the recent funding announcement.
- netcan 18y agoAny interest in this area has to do with monetisation. They both work. They're bot popular. Next. How much bigger will stumble or digg get? I haven't heard many (any) stumbleupon advertising success stories. Anyone know of case studies. There's always the chance that a big chunk of that is coming from companies that spend big on ppc/seo with good returns & are looking for any other channel. They could be throwing some money at it to see what happens. They may not come back. Actually, a good sign of potential would be money making sites obsessing about being on Digg's home page or getting 'stumble thunder' like bloggers do.
