Digg can of course be manipulated, but I dont think this is really an issue, cause even Google can get gamed! Plus the other company you mentioned is Alexa! I do think they are having issues with making profits, and that will never help when it comes to any type of acquisition or funding. @Mike Thanks for your thoughts on the whole Digg situation.

I won't bother witha real long tangent but I'm kind of sick of 9 million blogs about blogging who all write articles on how to get to the top of digg, when another 9 million bloggers have already commented that getting on the front of digg rarely equals a worth wild financial reward. Ususally it just crashes the server for the site that is hosting it. Just like Alexia, it's been proven that digg can be manipulated as well. Love the concept of digg when it was launched, lately, not so interesting anymore. Also think that the lack of a real way to produce positive profits is stopping any company from making a bid.
