Digg is reaching out

Coming from someone at the source itself, we confirm something that may not come as a surprise to many… Digg is talking to some big – really big – media companies. And while we promised our source not to give out more details (and we respect that), at least let me make clear that they’re not talking about acquisitions, nor about having these media companies adding “Digg this” buttons. You’ll have to figure out the rest…

Pligg.com is asking $150k

Remember Pligg – the site – went up for sale not long ago? Well, despite its bumpy road towards a sale, after the listing received amost 5,000 views, only 8 bids have been made, and apparently, none of them has been good enough for the current owners of the site, because one bidder told us that they are sending a counter-offer, asking for $150,000.

Overpriced? A steal? The point is, what’s for sale here is mainly a domain and a community of 10,000 users (no word about how many of them can be considered “active users”). Say the domain itself has a value of no more than $5,000 (and we feel that’s already generous), asking for $150k is pricing each member of the Pligg community just below $15 per user.

That’s not cheap.
