Digg goes to Microsoft for advertising deal
Microsoft announced that it has inked a deal today with Digg.com. The deal makes Microsoft the exclusive provider of display and contextual advertising on Digg.com.
“This move gives us an advertising partner with a larger organization and a more scalable technology platform to keep pace with Digg’s growth,” Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, said.
