| Why Yahoo will buy Digg | Why Yahoo won't buy Digg |

| Digg would make a great Yahoo property. | Yahoo would make a great Digg property. |
| Yahoo is the new home of Web 2.0. | Unless Susan Decker disagrees. |
| The blogger who leaked this heard about del.icio.us pre-launch too. | No blogger is right twice. |
| The deal brings in Digg's user base. | Who wants a user base of angry teen boys? |
| Kevin Rose is sexy. | Dare I say...too sexy? |
