The founder of Digg.com talks about sitting down with the heads of News Corp. and IAC in an interview on Big Think. "When I sat down with [Murdoch] it was a hand-holding process," says Kevin Rose, whose site is reportedly now being courted by Google. "When I sat down with Barry Diller, he was telling me about my business...it blew my mind." Rose is also amazed by Al Gore. While several companies have made offers for Digg, Rose has refused to sell the site, which has already profited from an ad deal with Microsoft. Since Rose is practically the mascot of his own site, he'll want an owner who knows what they're buying, which probably rules out Old Man Murdoch for good. But he'll also want the site to grow, which IAC can't promise. So what will Rose think after meeting with Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page?

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IAC Barry Diller said Google is irrelevant to his Ask.com business, plus more of what was said at the D6 conference.

Bennett Miller won a best-director Oscar nomination for Capote, a film about the corruption of a literary icon, and two years later has himself cashed in an artistic reputation by directing an American Express commercial aired for the first time during last night's Academy Awards. The star of the ad is fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg, who supposedly became "independent" and confident as a result of fashion -- a great message when you are trying to pimp financial services to small businesses. Left unsaid: Von Furstenberg was married to a Swiss prince from a wealthy family when she first broke in to fashion, and would hardly have wanted for startup capital. During and after that time, she was in a long-term relationship with entertainment mogul Barry Diller, to whom she is now married and who can easily pay whatever Amex charges the fashion designer might incur. Of course the ad is beautiful and feels honest, a testament to Miller's skill at spooling out a plausible dramatic narrative on film, and of course to his lack of a rich spouse who can save him from having to make commercials:

VERIZON announced that it has reached over 1 million FiOS TV customers, making it the 10th-largest multichannel service provider in the US. The company added over 700,000 customers during 2007, netting 226,000 in 4Q alone. The rapid growth rate means it will soon surpass Mediacom, which has 1.3 million cable subscribers. NIELSEN will use its social site HeyNielsen.com to record commercial feedback live during the Super Bowl. After each commercial break, the site will ask its 32,000 members for ratings and commentary on the spots. Nielsen s BuzzMetrics unit will also measure commercial responses shared on blogs, message boards and other online forums. SPECTRUM BIDDING in the 700 MHz auction has reached $6.1 billion after a $2.4 billion jump on Monday. The valuable C Block spectrum is up to $3.42 billion. The NY Times believes that two companies (one of which may be Google) are fighting it out for the C block. The nationwide D block, which will be shared with public safety agencies, has received little attention so far with only $472 million in bids. NBC has acquired LX.TV for around $10 million. LX.TV produces New York-centric lifestyle programming, which NBC will use as the basis for local programming in multiple markets. The network says the acquisition is part of an increased focus on local content production and part of an effort to grow its business outside of the traditional television space. VISIBLE MEASURES has acquired Vidmeter and Vidmetrix. Vidmeter provides rankings of the top videos on the web while Vidmetrix provides content creators with syndication and tracking services. In related news, TubeMogul has launched a line of premium services for online video producers. The new services offer increased control of syndication and enhanced statistical analysis of video performance. LIBERTY MEDIA is heating up its battle with Barry Diller and IAC, filing court papers to have Diller removed from IAC s board. Liberty is also maneuvering to reclaim control of its voting power, which currently sits in Diller s hands through a proxy agreement. Liberty is accusing Diller of misconduct while Diller simply accuses Liberty of being insane. PLUS: The WGA has reached an interim deal with the Grammy s that will bring Guild writers to the awards show. ENDEMOL, the producer of Deal or No Deal, will team up with Metacafe for an online trivia show called Buzzed. Lastly, TREMOR MEDIA will partner with DIGITALSMITHS to bring contextual ads to the large Tremor network. Get the full story at http://www.Media30.com.
