Digg is switching from using Google ads to using MSN ads at the moment, though I have seen speculation that Microsoft may be interested in a purchase and this is a step in that direction.

But as far as I know at the moment Digg is still owned by Digg and not Microsoft.

Digg is Digg... they switched their advertising from Google to M$.

As MSN is paying more than Google, so Digg might have switched from Google to MSN
