Microsoft to Serve Ads on Digg …Bugs Appear Instantly

This is too funny- Digg today announced that Microsoft would be serving their ads. I opened Safari (I have AdBlock in Firefox) to see what the ads looked like, and was greeted by this:

Digg ads

  1. The ads are mixed up- the leaderboard ad is on the right side, and the right side ad is on top. Thus both are cut off. This screenshot is not cropped on the sides- the ad was cut off.
  2. That ad is the default Digg ad- meaning there are no advertisers.

I refreshed a couple times, and the ads were back to normal. I opened another story on Digg, and they were messed up again.

Not to reinforce any stereotypes about Microsoft…
