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."

    It is being compared more closely to digg due to the minor fact that it's pretty much a ripoff of digg, and not slashdot.
    Although, I honestly don't care about them ripping it off. If it's a good idea, and you think you can make it better, go for it.
