   I think Michael Arringtons comment under the post sums it up.
   

   this particular investment really makes me wonder what people are thinking.

   
   Additionally, I have a feeling the new digg URL system is going to take a good chunk of the action. It's really neat how it works and you can do it striaght from the address bar (supposedly).
   
   For example entering "digg.com/http://icrontic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82765" into the address bar will automatically generate digg.com/x4f0 (or whatever). I really think since Digg has had time to sit back and watch how people are using the these shortners, and then work off of these observations, they are going to release something nice.
   
   Did I mention StumbleUpon is working on their own too....

   Maybe with their 2mil they can beef up their infrastructure.
