Microsoft in ads deal with Digg.com

Do you like Microsoft?
Microsoft and news sharing site Digg have signed a three-year deal that will see the software giant manage advertising on Digg.com.
Have you even used digg.com?
The text-based Google advertising that currently appears on Digg is due to be replaced in the coming weeks.
Digg says it gets over 17 million unique monthly visitors.
How come thre are so many visitors?
In other news, Microsoft has also announced that its games advertising division Massive Inc has secured the contract for the display of adverts on some of the top games from publisher EA.
Any way, Microsoft and Google are facing each other directly.
The five games - mostly popular US sports titles - are Madden NFL 08, Nascar 08, NHL 08, skateboarding game Skate, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08.
At the time Microsoft bought Massive last year, the Wall Street Journal reported the deal was worth between $200m to $400m.
No financial details of the EA deal have been released.
