Netscape Does DIGG for the Masses! So will DIGG!

Filed in archive Social Search by pete on June 24, 2006

Unless you follow Jason Calacanis closely, you probably had no idea that AOL was launching a new version of Netscape that was to be a social bookmarking/social voting website. Jason, of course, denies that it is a DIGG clone. But, that's like saying Dolly wasn't a perfect clone because her hair was longer. In other words, it is a DIGG clone.

However, it's been designed for the masses with lots of categories - and it has an editorial policy: don't interfere editorially. They just have anchors that flesh out the stories that lots of people want to have fleshed out. I give the new Netscape a big thumbs up. It's smart.

Of course, Digg, whose traffic now rivals the NYTCO will have an answer very shortly. Let the races begin.
