I wanted to login to Netscape this morning and I see that it gone, I mean not really gone but it is redirected to netscape.aol.com and it is now a news portal. The old netscape is located at propeller.com. Why would Netscape do such a dramatic change? You can read more about it in my Netscape article p.l.u.r.
http://blog.netscape.com/2007/09/11/social-news-update/ < has all the info. Put the story in quotes below in case aol pull it
Looking through Propeller.com it looks ditto like netscape, they might be expending after creating that portal.
It's a smart move. They needed to remove the digg style service before it started to define them. I gotta say that's the ugliest logo I've ever seen on a site owned by a multi-million dollar corporation.
George, the logo looks a lot more worse in the image that you have put up than it is at the actual site I can't say the logo is the best that they could have come up with, but it isn't too bad.
Looks like Netscape is planning for something big to put on Netscape.com Makes sense, a big company like that putting a news network on main website isn't much of a good idea.
I noticed list not yesturday, but the day before I think. I wanted to use it and couldn't access it. I tried again yesturday and couldn't access it. The bad thing about it is, it was redirecting to netscape.aol.com and it never seemed to be loading properly. It was just hanging, unless it was my computer or internet connection. Even going direct to aol.com was hanging on me.
AOL wanted to restore the netscape page again. There was an increasing demand that the old netscape page be restored. And hence the story was going around that AOL would either close the social bookmarking site or put it on some other domain. There were rumors about a couple of other domains which AOL had bought recently. However, they redirected it to propeller. I saw this story on techcrunch atleast a month ago, but AOL people would keep their lips tightly shut on this. Finally this happened..
