Digg ditches Google ads in favor of Microsoft

In the youthful, tech world of the Digg.com audience, Microsoft is seen as the monolithic devil. It seems odd then that Digg decided to switch from its Google ads program to a new one put out by Microsoft.

As can be expected, Diggers aren’t happy. The link to the article is full of biting sarcasm, and the thread has already amassed nearly 500 comments, many of them negative.

The above-linked article seems to suggest that this is some kind of major blow to Google. But with their diverse google adsense program, spanning over thousands of websites, I don’t see how a single site, no matter how popular, can provide much of a dent.
