By doing that they can avoid having to pay a penalty, usually contracts are signed and they have to wait out the end before they can do this - but if they do want to break out earlier than they have to pay a penalty. But if they build the platform, fill it with their own ads, and then use microsoft to fill up what's left - they can still obey the contract and not have to pay that penalty.

I am thinking about publishing where Digg gets 95% of the articles anyway....why bother with the conversations at Digg, just go to the sites, it is far more fun. I gave up on socialist Digg many moons ago. For the most part now, the users are immature, liberal, socialists and Marxist. Currently the countries of Cuba, and Venezuela and far left sites and blogs target Digg users, whether they know it or not. Take a look at the materials being posted to Digg since before the run up to the election. KOS, KOSTV, Huffington Post, etc....stories about legalizing gay marriage and smoking pot.
