Great news, Mom! FM got Dugg!

Of course it’s the Digg community (and, well, perhaps some Digg members who work for FM’s competition) thrashing FM’s performance for Digg and FM’s business model generally. Digg CEO Jay Adelson jumped into the fray with a different point of view (thanks, Jay!):

“We knew FM was growing and we’re giving them an opportunity to do so. We love their model, and we’re enjoying the fact that we have time to let them scale. Futhermore, Digg doesn’t even use up FM’s resources; They have assigned specific people to us (they have more than four people, I assure you) and it does not take away from their other clients….[And by the way] FM isn’t entirely self-service. They also have a salesforce, essentially the same thing we would be doing if we had our own sales team.”

Yeah! What do you think –- ChasNote writes itself?! Now I better get back to that long call-list of customers who want to advertise on Digg!
