- ylwdog, on 10/10/2007, -23/+301he said young ad service..... he should have said. "They paid a ***** load of coin."
- mrfreeziexp, on 10/10/2007, -63/+327No they aren't...
- orientis, on 10/10/2007, -36/+241Excuse my unrequited frustration but WTF IS GOING ON WITH THE COMMENT SYSTEM FFS!?! I don't give a ***** about your new advertising vendor, why the ***** do I care who provides the ads I don't see? Sort the ***** site out ffs. Here's a tip: Copy and paste your Political News section into a new folder and call it PICTURES. Change the comments so they are threaded yet don't look like absolute ***** and don't crash firefox all the ***** time! Elect Ron Paul, leak the pics of the new iPhone 2.0 and finish your self-congratulatory circle-masturbatory crap LATER.
This comment brought to you by no sleep and seven cups of coffee. - theblueprint, on 10/10/2007, -35/+168Microsoft didn't get rich by hiring stupid people. Their ad service is new, and they're not the market leader in web advertising.
This gives Digg more leverage than they would have with Google, and MS is going to be more open ideas. Google is going to be less interested in listening, since they're obviously doing what they do really well.
I don't see what the issue is. If anything, Digg is going to use the underdog. - titlesaysitall, on 10/10/2007, -32/+127I'm sorry but Jay Adelson is playing total suck up, when I think of Microsoft I think of Enterprise, business, professional. Just admit that you got a ***** load of cash. so much so you had Kevin do a Blog post to make sure Diggers see the Ads.
- Calcularius, on 10/10/2007, -23/+112I just vomited.
- blobzorz, on 10/10/2007, -13/+96What Ads? Adblock FTW.
- one1plus1one, on 10/10/2007, -25/+101The Microsoft of today has become the precise opposite of each of those points. They are now more like the Roman Empire was in its period of decline:
- they've become too big and cumbersome.
- the different parts of the empire have lost touch with the other parts.
- Communication between divisions is breaking down.
- The passion and energy is gone.
- They've lost the will to keep their empire competitive.
- They are no longer being lead by a great a charismatic ceasar
However keep in mind that the Roman empire's decline was long and slow. There's a few years left yet in Microsoft. (I don't say all this because I hate microsoft -- quite the opposite in fact: I actually say this with sadness because I have many great memories of Microsoft products, from the first days I touched DOS 2.0 at the age of 12... to the excitement of Windows-95, and then the amazement of Windows-XP... and even watching TV for the first time on Windows MCE. And who could forget spending hours in front of the original and very first MS-flight-simulator way back...) - Spr0k3t, on 10/10/2007, -16/+86*cough* SELLOUT *cough*
- Smegzor, on 10/10/2007, -29/+92Buried as inaccurate. Title should read Microsoft is old, crusty and inept.
- DocDEB, on 10/10/2007, -11/+71Jay... buddy... is there any of that KoolAid left?
- wesamel, on 10/10/2007, -34/+85Suck my ***** Microsoft!
- curunculus, on 10/10/2007, -17/+62The beginning of the end for Digg. MS will soon start to exert editorial control behind the scenes.
- marsbar, on 10/10/2007, -12/+57"Linux and Apple have always been two of the most popular things on Digg, while Microsoft, the RIAA, things like that, have been two of the most hated things," Winfield said. "For a user, they look at it and say, 'Now, all of a sudden, you're doing a deal with the devil?'"
That's exactly what's going on here. This is my last post on digg! Finally an issue on digg where I can take action and by action I mean me not coming back. :P - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -22/+63Listen to the ***** morons coming up with ***** like "Thats how the internet works"
***** off, no it ***** doesn't.
Have ads been there since the beginning ? or have they crept in and destroyed what was once a
resource for human beings.
The internet has been eaten alive by corporate america, its just another way to sell ***** now.
So ***** you, ***** advertising and all the *****-munching *****-twiddlers who think its necessary. - jayadelson, on 10/10/2007, -31/+72Sounds like you have an entire plan! Why wait for us? Go for it!
- CosmicJustice, on 10/10/2007, -14/+50He said their AD AGENCY was young and innovative. This is why reading comprehension is so important.
- Matrix_Prime, on 10/10/2007, -10/+46Does this mean we can look forward to praise of the Zune 2, and bashing of the iPhone?
- j0se, on 10/10/2007, -15/+49You're sell outs like everyone else.
- zenlunatic, on 10/10/2007, -4/+37Pic or it didn't happen
- orientis, on 10/10/2007, -5/+38Sure! I'll make changes to your webpage! Send me the necessary details.
Don't cop out like that. I don't run your site. I frequent your site. I like your site. I would prefer that previous sentence to remain in the present tense. Does it really take a board meeting and months of statistical analyses to just put a new section up called pictures? - raisputin3, on 10/10/2007, -13/+46Soon we'll be seeing ***** like this instead of ads...no bigge to me, I don't pay attention to the ads as it is ;)

Note: I don't have a ***** MS SQL server running on even ***** IIS to generate real errors as seen at my work LOL, so I just found errors on the web that looked like they were reasonably close to the kind of crap I see at my job - masgrada, on 10/10/2007, -10/+42Hahahaha.. you lying tools. You obviously sold out.
- cquinnd, on 10/10/2007, -3/+31I don't think Apple owns an ad service yet.
- sariss, on 10/10/2007, -7/+34Microsoft - "YOU are the ones who are the ball lickers...."
- roberto_deneero, on 10/10/2007, -9/+36OMFG, you KNOW Jay just came straight from the Microsoft sales presentation full of Redmond Unfiltered Kook-Aid. Jay, don't kid yourself, go take a piss NOW and get that ***** out of you! Now I've seen it all.
- netmikey, on 08/24/2009, -6/+33Microsoft Ad service - blubb - "Your browser might be at risk, click here to be sure it is."
- Ssullivan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28If that ever happened I would leave digg.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -18/+44No, they got rich by cloning other companies' successful products (or buying those companies outright).
They may be young, but they are far from cutting edge and innovative. - koregaonpark, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25Also, Apple doesn't need to advertise on Digg. It gets enough free publicity.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+28Must _have_ paid them a ***** ton.
- mickstephenson, on 10/10/2007, -5/+28buried for saying "learned us"
- SavageBlackCat, on 10/10/2007, -10/+32Leave judas alone - he got his 30 pieces of silver.
- estvir, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24Thanks Sell, in the next 24 hours there will be all the big Apple rumour sites quoting your post as a secret source for Apple starting an ad service.
Well, it's probably a more solid rumour than most of the rubbish posted. - dressed2kell, on 10/10/2007, -5/+26Leave it to Jay Adelson to usher in the jackass ***** of the year award by trying to slip a galactic ball of soupy turd past legions of hound dogs. This ***** must think we the DIGG audience are some exceptionally stupid *****. "Young", "Innovative" and "Cutting Edge" aren't quite the wooden adjectives I'd have attempted to build this Trojan horse out of. I don't recall any Grecian strategies that employed a wooden horse with sword tips sticking out the eyes, flaming arrows out it's ass and 100 dickbrained warriors inside pulling finger farts and telling knock-knock jokes. Before today I'd have struggled to name any dildonticon more moronic that Ballmer and his techno-army of mindless ass-drones, but this Adelson ***** takes the royal cake! You couldn't make Microsoft appear "young, innovative, and cutting edge" if you stuffed a razor-blade packed, nuclear iphone grenade up their zune-brown stained asses. So Mr. Adelson? If you're listening? Unless it's somehow April 1, ***** you for thinking any of us to be that goddamned stupid. This has nothing to do with Google and everything with you and Microsoft being a pair of strokehoppers that were made for each other. I'm happy as Ballmer's lips on your ass to say that in a world filled with alternative avenues of social news sources I just trashed DIGG feeds and links from every last piece of technology in the building. As far as the motherload of you ***** are concerned, yeah you tugbags know who you are, you colon-cronies that have allowed yourselves to be snowjobbed into the Winworld over the years, just know that the rest of us won't have to worry about you dingle-ropes forever thanks to the Darwin of things. You koolaid guzzlin' gooberfux can run but you can't hide!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+23Yeh. Like the Zune. The brown one.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+23+1 *****-munching *****-twiddlers
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+25I have to admit, I'm laughin' my ass off at these comments. Pretty funny! I hope Steve Ballmer logged in just to read this & now he's got steam coming out of his ears... lobs some furniture.. good times :D
- BRi7X, on 10/10/2007, -9/+27I love you dude. No sleep causes me to do some very epic ranting indeed. We should hang out some time, in a totally heterosexual way, and get no sleep and just rant about ***** *****... over the interwebs of course. Ranting is great. Right?
- RamboJesus, on 10/10/2007, -6/+24No, I believe him because I just did the same thing.
- arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -6/+23ceiling cat is watching you shamelessly take it from Microsoft
- Matic, on 10/10/2007, -18/+35Why does Microsoft have to complicate things so much? Has anyone read the AdCenter page? It is so counter-intuitive just like their software and all of their websites. They always do way too much.
- AscendoTuum, on 10/10/2007, -14/+30*cough, cough*Xbox360*cough*redringsofdeath*cough*
- Nogger, on 10/10/2007, -13/+29That gives the Ad Unit at Microsoft the "young", I give them that. But what do they do that is "innovative" and "cutting edge"? They are more or less an adsense clone. I remember they have a bit more fine-grained target-selection for their ads, do they?
- geekoid, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18The Roman Empire didn't collapse. It adapted. It became the Catholic Church.
- DollaDollaBill, on 10/10/2007, -5/+20SSSHHH! Don't burst the web 2.0 bubble! Ad revenue is the only way we'll stay afloat!
- Hickeroar, on 10/10/2007, -4/+18Yeah, THEY aren't, but his statement wasn't about microsoft as a whole. His statement was about their ad service division. Do people here even comprehend the meaning of the word "context?"
- bigtomrodney, on 10/10/2007, -12/+2633% failure rate,.
- veganofascist, on 10/10/2007, -8/+21young, innovative, cutting edge - china?
