Google Buying Digg? How about calling it Diggle?

Rumors abound around the Internet that Google is in final negotiations to buy Digg for a couple hundred million (thereabouts). Will it go through? Will it fall apart before all the i's are dotted and t's crossed? Will Microsoft step in and buy it if it does? Hm....the suspense.

Not really suspense. Just interesting tidbits to bloggers, lol.

We can come up with all kinds of names for this if rumors become fact: Diggle, Giggle, Doogle, GooDigg, G'Digg, D'Goo. How about G'Dog?

Yeah, I have too much time on my hands right now and better get back to cleaning the house. Mommy bloggers still have kids to raise and houses to clean. :)

They're going to do it whether this commercial is around or not. I just hope kids know enough to protect themselves from pregnancy and STD's because for a lot of kids, what their parents say don't mean a thing.
