Just purchased DiggNews.com from TDNAM for $5 + renewal fee, it will be delivered to me after two weeks.

PR = 2

"digg news" has no OVT so i dont really see you getting any type-in traffic.

Also you can't avoid the TM, because digg is a news service... It's like saying McDonaldsFood.com wouldn't be an infringment, because they only have a TM for McDonalds...

$5 IMO

Thank you, Slipxaway, actually, the highest offer from NP is $50.

Ovt Result (not much, but yes, not zero)
35 digg news tip
25 digg news

Yes, TM issue is a prob, but I have no intention to develop it as the same style as Digg.com, so it could be avoided. I have emailed Digg.com.

Thx for the advices, I appreciate.

If developed it could be really good. Like digg.com but for news stories.

But Digg.com is news stories just like slipxaway said... I think that this is a very tricky name.

Have digg.com replied to your email? Are they :veryangry: or :cool: ?

If it was just dignews without the second 'g' then maybe some value but as it is, it's just far too close to digg. Considering the bulk of digg activity is from news stories this one is just to much of a blatant copy to be worth anything more than just handing it over to the original. And if they TM'ed their biz you will be doing that anyways.
