Digg.com have dropped Google as their ad provider and teamed up with Microsoft on a three-year deal!

Full Details Here

What are peoples opinions on this move?

Could be interesting, and go one of two ways.

On one, it could backfire on Digg. Digg is popular with Apple, Linux and those sorts of companies. The only thing worse than dealing with Microsoft in my eyes would be if Digg signed a contract with the RIAA. If the Digg readers don't like it, they will let you know about it.

On the other, it could establish Microsoft as a decent alternative to adsense. You hear a lot of stories of Google banning adsense accounts for little or know reason, and being tricky to reinstate. If Microsoft comes up with an alternative that is more clear in terms of what you can and cannot do, then maybe people will be more inclined to switch.

I had to check it out myself because I was in shock in such a move, especially because how they support Apple and Unix.

Thats exactly what I thought! They always seemed so anti-Microsoft!

No problem - I'm confused personally, I really can't see their motivation behind it
