Surprisingly, it seems like the Google and Digg merger is abruptly over. Inside sources say it was the “personality mismatch” and walked away from the table leaving Digg with no deal.
From Techcrunch:
“Two sources close to the companies suggested that some issue that came up during technical due diligence was to blame. One source said that the issue was more personality driven, and that Google decided after spending more time with Digg’s top team that there just wasn’t a fit.
Either way the deal appears to dead and can be added to the long list of failed Digg acquisition deals. And when a company is “left at the altar” other buyers are usually hesitant to step in.”
Accusations of censoring and questionable behavior have plagued Digg.com as of late.
