The Washington Post may have just dug Digg's grave. Yesterday The Next Web shocked much of the tech world with a report that the Post was buying the once-hot social media site, but it now looks like that's only partially true. TechCrunch later reported that the Post was actually only "acquiring" Digg's tech team, not the site or its assets. Digg, which has been seeking a buyer for months, will be left to fend for itself with whatever staff it has left, while the Post integrates the Digg crew with the team already working on its Social Reader app for Facebook, sources tell All Things Digital. No comment from Digg or the Post.
