It has been reported by Valleywag in December and now again by Silicon Alley, that Digg are working on a white label version of their product for the IAC. “I’ve seen it, and it looks great,” silicon alley correspondent writes. We inquired with Ask, and got a “no comment at this time”, but we got something slightly more encouraging from Digg’s Jay Adelson: “We have no comment on our relationship with Ask, but will keep you updated!”

If I had a pound for every time I hear “Digg Killer”, then I would def. be rich and owning my own island in the caribbean. However, since the sort of failure of Netscape (now Propeller), there has really been no service to challenge Digg. Now this white label will be on the scene, i dont think it will be a Digg killer mainly because it is getting written by Digg. Thus, how can it really challenge, or are IAC just trying to gain some extra pageviews and fill out their portfolio before they spin off Ask.com into an IPO?? Only time will tell, but im looking forward to seeing this new service soon.
