But does the same person that knows that Google exists know that Digg exists?
This is what I'm wondering. Digg as it currently exists isn't worth $400 million, but if google can use its clout to bring it into the mainstream then maybe it would be. Of course, there's the question of how a site like digg could cope with ten times more active users (and hence ten times more votes and comments), but perhaps they have ideas for that. Combine digg's popularity-based voting with google's knowledge of…
If Google can merely use its clout to bring it into the mainstream, however, they could do the same with far smaller Digg-like sites and for less money.
I think that if Google buys Digg for, say, $400 million, then Digg must actually be worth that. Okay, it might not have the revenues to warrant it, but it has a rampant audience, many of who treat Digg like a game and spend hours on it every day increasing their karma. That sort of support is what can fuel the site enough to drag it into the mainstream with Google's help, and why it's worth mega money.

I don't think HN is for you.
what? HN is a site where anyone can create an account and post comments in seconds. This may suprise you but the but the non-bay area heathens have Internet too.
I am non bay area, its more the tone of comments. PG is trying to keep HN "different" (but not exclusive or anything).
