Digg ends ad deal with Microsoft

Digg ends ad deal with Microsoft

Social bookmarking service Digg has announced that they are ending their deal with Microsoft which was connected to sale of ads on the service.

They have decided to end the deal even before it was scheduled for a renewal.

Looks like Digg was not happy with the advertising provided by Microsoft and they are now going to deal with it themselves.

Microsoft would now be responsible for remnant inventory.

Microsoft spoke about the new developments: “Starting July 1, Microsoft will sell network inventory for Digg through the Microsoft Media Network, which it has been doing successfully for the last year and a half. Digg has created its own internal sales executive team, and we respect their decision to sell their owned-and-operated site inventory directly to help further accelerate their growth as a company.”
