This valuation is way, way, way off. I mean, add a zero to the end and I still don't think you're close to a fair value.

Nice domain, tons of traffic, and a load of real users who you could keep around if you wanted to. Even if you wanted to strip-mine the domain out and dump the company, I can't imagine your costs are going to be anything significant.

Whoever's managing this deal at Digg's end is screwing it right up.

OK say you bought it. It is yours. What do you do tomorrow and this week to turn Digg around and have it do something interesting?
