AOL Targets Digg, YouTube With New Netscape Site

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the both-cream-and-scum-rise-to-the-top dept.

Dotnaught writes "AOL has re-launched its Netscape.com portal as a place where user participation is balanced by moderator control. The renovated site will feature community-driven news and user-submitted video, guided by editors called anchors. "The hive mind sometimes doesn't do a thorough job," says Jason Calacanis, CEO of Weblogs, Inc., a blog network acquired last year by AOL."
