LIVE: Digg Says Thank You to Google, Releasing a Paid Reader

Digg, Digg Survey of Goggle Reader Alternative, Google ReaderMuch of the bleeding 1 percent of social media (read: marketers and techies) were up in arms that Google Reader was going to be sunset. Digg quickly started collecting email addresses of people who were interested in a Google Reader replacement. It found that over 40 percent of respondents are willing to pay for a Google Reader replacement. The company also revealed what sharing and “Read Later” services it will integrate into its offering, and that a beta of its reader will be launching in June. Nestled into the release were details on just how many of its users it believes (from their own admission) are willing to pay for it.

On today’s Live NewsDesk Show with Kristin Feledy (see live stream below) we’ll be hearing from SiliconANGLE’s Contributing Editor John Casaretto to hear his thoughts on paying for a read later tool. What were some notable findings from the survey? In their results, Digg found that about two-thirds of respondents use a “Read later” service. Can you explain what that is and what Digg plans to do with these findings? What did they reveal about the upcoming Reader replacement?
