Top 10 Tech Web Tips

Theme Upgrade Taking Place

We are in the middle of a theme upgrade here at Top10Tech Web Tips today so you may see things changing around a bit.  Eventually, the upgrade will be pushed out to all of the Top10Tech sites, but we’ll start here to get the kinks worked out and things optimized again.

Regardless it should bring some great new features and hopefully it will look better too!

Will that Microsoft Devil Pay Digg Better?

 Digg fired Google in favor of a younger startup company looking to experiment and take chances.  They chose Microsoft.

Google has quite a reputation for providing poor service to its publisher/website partners unless they merit personal attention like an Ebay or a  . . . Digg.com.

Apparently, Digg wasn’t getting ($$$) what they needed out of their deal with Google.  So they are jumping ship away from Google the market leader and Yahoo! the former market leader ( a long time ago) and heading over to do business with a very well funded startup, Microsoft.

It might piss off Digg’s user base that hates Microsoft mostly and regularly gets caught in obscene situations with Apple iPods in restrooms, and stalls around the country.

Maybe if its good enough for Digg, it will be good enough for other Publishers and Websites as well.  Google Adsense revenues are great for Google but most websites complain about a rapid drop off in earnings and profits from Google adsense ads running on their sites.  They say something has to change and if Google won’t change, maybe more sites will change away from Google.
