How Google can gobble digg

1. As Steve Mermelstein suggests, Google reader to have a feature that shows how many people have shared a post, which in turn depends on how many have turned on the sharing feature. However, as things stand, not many are enamoured of Google toolbar and other stuff coming out of Google’s “Save 100%” philosophy.

2. Use Google account sign-in for Google news and put up all Digg and Del.icio.us type rate, save, share and discuss links on top. That is turn would be linked one the user’s personal page on Google.

Google can popularize the new Digg-like feature with its Tip suggestion feature that turns up after a search result.

To round things up, Google can have a Digg-type front page, also accessible via one’s gmail account.

Think about it: Gmail + Google news + GoDigg.
It is a killer application, allright.

3. If Google does not want to do all that, buy Digg out and integrate with gmail. :-)
