Its a logical move to make, and I think its highly likely that not only Digg, but even other popular social bookmarking sites will start compensating their top users.

Also, you may have misinterpreted what Calacanis was saying. His model is not only working, but its working great. What he is saying is that he likes what Newsvine is doing, but he doesn’t feel that Netscape is at a point where they can try the Newsvine model.

I remember not so long ago Kevin was saying that Digg would never pay and he was bagging others for thinking about doing it. I guess we will have to wait and see if he sticks to his word.
