"On Thursday, AOL’s Netscape property will no longer be just another portal – it’s being converted into a Digg-killer. The new site will run at http://beta.netscape.com for now, converting over to the main Netscape.com property soon."

It's ironic that on Netscape's tech channel it's a story that says:

That's a bit like when they missed out Netscape 5... |
Digg is down. "Digg will be down for a brief period, while we make some changes."
I wonder if they'll put Digg 3.0 online faster because of the Netscape competition. |
I wondered that too. But do you think they are really scared of this? |
I don't know who uses Netscape.com as a news resource, but Netscape has a big user base. Here's Alexa "not-so-true" traffic estimation:

Anyone who chooses a Netscape icon as avatar was clearly not around in late 90s web development (aka Netscape 4 hell).
I'm not sure who ever visits sites like Netscape.com but their PageRank 9 is quite nice :) |
hehehe.. I just went there and trolled the NS interface ..not sure if I want to register ..anyone in here has taken the plunge ? |
Not yet... I wanted to "digg" something but then I didn't want to register for yet another Digg. |
I thought I was bad.. but you PL are badder then me!! :)_ |
I think Digg and Netscape Digg ?!? should use an Anonymous Coward policy.
No Offense AOL, who would actually register for that site. |
