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.
This is just a quick follow up on my previous aside. As Michael Arrington reported, Pligg intends to sell it’s SourceForge account. However, the SourceForge terms of use very clearly state that you can not sell or transfer your profile under section 4-h and also section 9. Someone should probably alert the owners of Pligg […]
Open source Digg-clone Pligg has announced they’re selling the pligg.com domain and site as well as the SourceForge account where the project resides.

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.
Three of Digg’s most prolific users have banded together to bring us a new flavor of content for regular consumption. The Drill Down is a podcast featuring hosts Andrew Sorcini, Muhammad Saleem, and Reg ‘Zaibatsu’.
The show is to be produced weekly, discussing the goings-on in the world of technology and the Internet. The first two […]
Slashdot has flung the doors open on its social news interface, Firehose. So far my favorite feature that I wish all social news sites had is the ability to essentially rewind and pick which day’s news you would like to read from on a calendar.
Today is my 366th day as a Netscape Navigator Scout. One year later, they’re still paying people for social bookmarking on the interweb.
