"Update: Digg confirms a deal on its company blog.\nBack in March, well-known tech icon and Digg Founder Kevin Rose made some waves in the Twittersphere when he launched WeFollow, a user-generated Twitter directory.  \nAnyone on Twitter could be added and categorized by tweeting at @WeFollow and using relevant hashtags to describe the person (#tech, #entrepreneur, #celebrity, etc.).  \nIt was an interesting experiment by Rose.  And, with his massive Twitter reach, it quickly became a hit in the Twittersphere.  That was March.  Since then, WeFollow has shed more than half of its initial traffic, according to Compete.  But while we haven't heard anything new about WeFollow for months, we have noticed a subtle change to WeFollow.com: the copyright message has changed.  It looks like WeFollow is now the property of Digg.The following image is from the footer of WeFollow.com on March 22nd, not long after they launched.  You'll notice that the copyright is attributed to WeFollow.\n\n\n\n\n\nImage Credit:Shinyai via Flickr\n\nWe've also confirmed that the copyright was attributed to WeFollow in June of this year as well.  Now, take a look at the footer of WeFollow.com as it is presently:\n\n\n\n\nSometime between June and now, the copyright, and most likely the ownership, of WeFollow transferred to the social voting service.  This raises a lot of interesting questions that we'd like to have answered:\n\n- Was WeFollow its own company originally?  Did it have any association with Digg when it first launched?\n- Did Digg acquire Kevin Rose's side project?  If so, did it involve a payment or stock?\n- Why was this done under-the-radar? \n- Does Digg plan to do anything with WeFollow? If so, what?\n\nWeFollow has a wealth of information on Twitter users and still gets a respectable amount of traffic.  Digg could utilize that to really push into the Twitter space, but it's tough to tell.  The company clearly didn't want to publicize the change, but exactly why we don't know.\nWe're currently awaiting a response from Digg to clarify some of our questions."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
