QLOL, our daily LOLspeak take on the news of the day

Still no word on the rumors that Google is close to acquiring Digg for $200 million. What could possibly be holding the deal up?

    I should apologize to Pownce users in advance on this one :-)

    You're apologizing to them because they're actually using Pownce, right? (I went there!)

    "What could possibly be holding the deal up?" the story on digg needs to hit 200M diggs before Googs forks out $200M for it !!
