Could Diggers manipulate whogets.com?

whogets.com is a free online sweepstakes game show where members ultimately vote on whogets the prize. Most of the prizes are ipod shuttles. They promise no spam and no catch. It seems that it would be easy for members of a site like digg.com to organize and only vote for their members. We will see.

How many T shirts does Digg have to sell to make $2 billion?

Can selling T shirts, dating services, and astrology net you $2 Billion? It just might do the trick for the owners of digg.com.

I like to check out the headlines on digg.com a few times a week. It is a cool site and based on its Alexa ranking of 109 has a ton of traffic. I even enjoy the ads because most are from companies like busted tees or snorg tees that have hot chicks wearing funny t shirts. Today, there was even an ad from an astrologer called, “Bethea” and even more hot chicks hawking the dating site “True.com”. I had to refresh a ton to find an ad from what I would call a main stream advertiser.

I recently read that google may be talking to the owners of digg.com about acquiring them. They estimated the value of digg at $2 Billion. It would seem they would have to be selling a ton of T shirts to make the site so valuable. However, I have yet to see a person actually wearing one of those hilarious and often sexy BustedTee Shirts. Maybe it is just me.

For you accountants, I do realize they actually don’t sell the t shirts themselves and make money on the ads, but brother, they have to be selling something to be worth that.
