Following a deal last August (
http://www.betanews.com/article/Face...Ads/1156314924) in which Microsoft agreed to handle all ad sales for popular social networking site Facebook, the Redmond company has signed a similar agreement with social news site Digg (
http://www.digg.com/). Microsoft is working hard to establish itself in the ad industry, but faces stiff competition from Google.
