Is there room for more than one "Digg"?

Digg.com has definitely carved a niche for itself in this undefined technosphere we call the web. With it's popular social bookmark voting site comes hundreds of other sites trying to match Digg's chemistry and create similar sites hoping for the same success. These sites include some newer names like reddit.com and flurl.com as well as some older sites like Netscape.com (who recently converted to a digg.com style social bookmarks site). There are also tons of sites using "Digg.com" style voting systems and integrating it with new ideas like shopping deals, artwork, games, technology and more.
So... is there room for all these social book-marking sites to coexist peacefully? Since the development of software like Pligg (pligg.com) that allows you to set up a social bookmarking site, there have been quite a few more popping up. If Internet users continue to share opinions, information, videos and blogs as spastically as they are now, there will be plenty of links to go around. If the site is interesting and the content keeps flowing people will continue to spread the word using any means they can easily find.
Will this style of social sharing trend be sticky enough to weather the wicked ever-changing world of the web 2.0? I think we could see some major merging of these style of sites into one greta conglomerate of information. Different people find things in different ways. If you could find a way to integrate the incredible searching power of Google.com with the community strength of Myspace.com then add a sprinkle of Digg.com and wiki technology you might find users flocking to a site like that and never leaving. We'll have to wait and see, I'm sure one of the Internet Big Guns already has something like this in mind.
