Digg buries Google Ads as lame, picks Microsoft as replacement

Digg, boy king of all social driven media, announced today that they are dropping Google Ads in favor of advertisements served by Microsoft. Odd, that; Given Digg's user base leans heavily away from the Redmond giants, and the move is likely to irritate a generous portion of Digg's healthy surfer population.

The new deal with Microsoft will run over the next 3 years, with MS serving small contextual ads, much as Google does, or, rather, did. Microsoft is already serving up ads for Facebook, and losing Digg puts Google in a still dominant, but less enviable position.
