- hseldon, on 10/10/2007, -29/+223What's wrong with Google???
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -43/+231Okay okay, yeah, ads suck. Seriously, though, if you're a digger and you're not using adblock, you're not a digger. Now, hopefully this will bring in some major $$ to Digg and the site can get a BRAND NEW F*CKING SEARCH FUNCTION that doesn't leave diggers foaming at the mouth! (hopefully some other great stuff too)
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -16/+196Hopefully the money will go towards a new comment system.
- j0keR, on 10/10/2007, -27/+157DO NOT WANT
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -36/+159the end of digg as we know it...
- MasterDwarf, on 10/10/2007, -19/+137Marked as inaccurate. You're never in a 'partnership' with Microsoft.
- roberto_deneero, on 10/10/2007, -23/+133Booooooo. Do you hear that Kevin Rose?!
Digg just jumped the shark. - drcreek, on 10/10/2007, -21/+115*****. Good bye relevant text based ads. Hello LOLZOR! ZZAP THE ***** FLY FOR A FREE IPOD!!!!!!! Flash based annoyances.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -25/+102SELL OUT
First the god awful comment system... now this? Reddit, here I come for good. - MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -23/+87Why are you censoring yourself?
It looks ridiculous. - ChrisWickenscom, on 10/10/2007, -17/+78Say bye bye to any Linux stories.
- wildfire, on 10/10/2007, -13/+68I think Schestowitz committed suicide (of his Digg account).
- axonal, on 10/10/2007, -10/+63You mean there are ads on Digg???
- ekso, on 10/10/2007, -23/+76Ok, that's it. I'm outta here. See you guys in Wikio, Reddit or Thoof or somewhere else.
- serpentskiss, on 10/10/2007, -10/+62Yeh. AdBlock is a must with Digg. Even with it on, the site is really dog-slow. It's horrendous with ads active on it.
- Lemonblood, on 10/10/2007, -24/+74Today is the day Digg died.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -11/+60Bet Kevin Rose hates this and Wishes the company was Apple.
Alex is probably rolling around in laughter! - yourmom, on 10/10/2007, -8/+4909 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0
- kevincannon, on 10/10/2007, -12/+52Yea, all Diggers should use adblock, and prevent digg from making some money to keep the site running.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -23/+62To all you l33t d00ds posting "I use adblock", do you not realize that Microsoft will now influence Digg decisions? Whether you view the ads or not, its presence will be felt.
- BenTM, on 10/10/2007, -22/+61A lot is wrong with Microsoft.
- ButterBuddha, on 10/10/2007, -11/+49this makes me sad...
- colonels1020, on 10/10/2007, -20/+56Microsoft is going to ruin Digg...
- manicallday, on 10/10/2007, -14/+49Well it's time to roll. I think that we can all see where this is going.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -8/+39... and PICS section
- subxero37, on 10/10/2007, -9/+39People use profanity so much that it loses its meaning, especially typed or over the internet, so censoring it makes it actually stand out now.
- bernmeister, on 10/10/2007, -12/+40Just like that catchy tune... "Its the end of the world as we know it"... I'm going to start singing "Its the end of digg as we know it but Kevin feels fine.
- cannabinemsi, on 10/10/2007, -12/+38smells like no more good news about linux, apple, sony or whatever company is in MS's way,
- baalzebub, on 10/10/2007, -11/+35if digg turns pro-microsoft and anti-linux i will remove digg from my bookmarks and never visit this website again and bad-mouth digg everywhere the topic comes up...
- animalmuther76, on 07/30/2008, -6/+29> if you're a digger and you're not using adblock, you're not a digger. Now, hopefully this will bring in some major $$ to Digg
if all diiggers use adblock then how does digg make any $$ at all - skywake, on 10/10/2007, -10/+33without reason? I think we all have very good reason to hate Microsoft.
Anti-competitive behavior, their love of Software Patents, their "anti-piracy" measures....
If it wasn't for Microsoft everyone would probably be using *nix..... - titorTT, on 10/10/2007, -15/+37digg down digg
- Randinn, on 10/10/2007, -19/+40Where do I start....
- kamot, on 10/10/2007, -12/+33Nooooooooooooooo.....
- generalloy, on 10/10/2007, -12/+33You're not the only one thinking that, trust me.
- drcreek, on 10/10/2007, -6/+25Why would MS go to bed with a site that "usually" due to a high level of Apple fanboys (myself included) praises and basically advertises Apple?
- brownspank, on 10/10/2007, -4/+23Every Digg article I open pegs my CPU; Firefox freezes up for a few seconds whenever the ads start to load. And I'm only using a few essential extensions. So, no, not necessarily an Internet connection thing.

Interesting to Compare the comments from Digg on this Press Release and Deal
To the comments from the Official Microsoft Forum
http://reddit.com/info/29eic/comments
and the comments from Reddit - TradaPIB, on 10/10/2007, -14/+32Doesn't sound right to me.
- raynar, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19its all the ***** javascript digg uses. can't we have a "lite" version?
- DivisibleByZero, on 10/10/2007, -5/+23Google doesn't pay as much?
- Samzo, on 10/10/2007, -18/+33they are probably going to pay to have various stories taken to the front page...
sneaky bastards... - tdous, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Yeah. They're what pay for the massive free website that everyone complains about as though they have a personal stake in it.
- mastercheif, on 10/10/2007, -9/+24Yea, I thought google would be a much better choice because you don't only get one of the biggest (if not already) advertising companies on the net, you get their search technology with it.
- adolfojp, on 10/10/2007, -9/+24I wish I could block stupid AdBlock comments.
- tnvwboy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14That's likely the reason. Don't forget, Digg is a business. If Microsoft is offering a better cut of ad revenue than Google, why wouldn't they take it? Especially with so many users running AdBlock. This gives them more money. How is that bad? When it comes to ads, does it really matter if its Google or Microsoft? It's still ads.
- EvilWalksWithMe, on 10/10/2007, -16/+29Digg is slowed down by ad's? Either your talking *****, or your internet connections suck.
- honeymustardn, on 10/10/2007, -6/+19I never knew either. Long live AdBlock!
- johimself, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13"UNSUSCRIBED!!!"
...you haven't though have you? - johimself, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Because they have a lot of money?
