The fact of the matter is that he got booted out. He now has to stand in line with the 80 other networks/advertisers that will want to buy inventory on Digg (exactly how things are on Facebook as well). The funny part about all this is to see Batelle trying to "spin" this in his favor. Almost challenging the intelligence of the people in this industry. Fact is that FM has no technology and no competitive advantage. And its starting to catch up with their business model. @Erich: Second vote for: deadpool 2008 From the Microsoft Press Release:
