Netscape has launched a new beta version of its browser, Navigator. If you had not heard about it already, its a browser with features of their social news site built in, such as voting, submitting, tracking your friends etc. It’s a must-have for any hardcore Netscape user.
There’s a rumor going around that Netscape, as we know it in it’s social news form, is to be discontinued by AOL. The rumor stems from AOL having launched a “new” Netscape branded portal, which is basically a re-branding of AOL’s portal.
At this time it is not clear who Michael Arrington’s sources are, however as […]
It occurs to me that Google’s new comments-from-relevant-parties feature on Google News is similar to meta-journalism a la Netscape. Here’s an example.
Kevin Rose and Jason Calacanis square off with each other on the latest episode of the GigaOM Show. They discuss the wisdom of the crowd vs. editorial oversight (read: Digg vs. Netscape) and their new ventures Mahalo and Pownce. If you listen closely, you can just barely make out the blood-lust beneath their well-mannered banter.
Today is my 366th day as a Netscape Navigator Scout. One year later, they’re still paying people for social bookmarking on the interweb.
When Jason Calacanis put out the call for top social media contributors to come and contribute to Netscape for $1,000/month, many people (including myself) scoffed at the idea. They said he was trying […]
I was perusing the HTML source code of Netscape.com when I noticed that they have the Quantcast script. This means the numbers you see here are about as accurate as you can get without looking at actual server logs.
So what does Quantcast have to say? Apparently the Netscape.com domain received almost 12 million uniques […]
The top 2 stories at Netscape earlier today complimented each other beautifully (as seen above).
The first story is about the sexuality of bible-belt conservatives. It reveals that Texas is the second most well represented state on the popular sex and swingers site, Adult Friend Finder.
The second story was submitted about 9 hours later. According to […]
Apparently Stephen Colbert is a Netscape reader. He closed last night’s show by commenting on a story he found on Netscape about a Chinese secret society challenging the Illuminati.
Update: Jeff Hoard has more details. Netscape has a discussion about this under way.
If you were watching the Netscape tracker yesterday, you would have noticed a massive spike in new registrations. It coincided with their re-launch of My.Netscape, which uses the same login as their social news site.
The result: over 6,000 new registrations in one day. This helped to push them past a new milestone: 150,000 registered users.
And […]
Today, Netscape re-launched My.Netscape as a customizable Ajax homepage. Netscape Navigator Fedquip produced this handy tutorial for using it to track Netscape tags:
You might also consider combining multiple tags into one content module by using Yahoo! Pipes.
