TechCrunch information says that soon Google can buy Digg, number one web voting place, after several weeks of negotiations. From the TechCrunch words, the companies have reportedly signed a letter of intent and are close to a deal that will bring Digg under the Google News property. The acquisition price is in the $200 million range, says one source. The companies are now in final negotiations according to TechCrunch sources, although it could be a couple of weeks before it closes. And while the major deal points have been agreed on, the acquisition could still fall apart.
