Betting closes on Jul 28 2008

The seemingly never-ending drama of Digg acquisition rumors continues, this time thanks to Kara Swisher over at All Things Digital.

Who is the latest suitor? "Odds-on favorite and sources tell me much sooner than later: Google," Swisher said. That's not very much to go on, but enough to get the rumor mill chatter to start up again. We've heard similar rumors literally for years, most recently from TechCrunch on March 7.

The following comScore chart shows Digg's unique visitor data, which makes it plain as to why so many media and Internet companies have been eyeing Digg's healthy user base for so long.
