Who will buy Digg by end of June?

Settled as Still independent

Still independent and releasing cool new features

Background:

Yahoo Buzz looks like it has beat Digg to the mainstream so maybe selling isn't a bad option for Kevin Rose and the gang. TechCrunch say it is definitely happening (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/07/google-microsoft-bidding-for-digg/) . If Microsoft is buying Yahoo then it doesn't make much sense for then to buy Digg. But if Microsoft isn't buying them why would Google?

Compete is showing Digg unique user growth to be flat since last June. With the launch of Yahoo Buzz they may have missed their exit window...

They are going to sell big time. Look at the amount of coverage TechCrunch is giving to Mixx (which is bizarre but that's a different story). My money is on Google digging into Digg!
