Netscape.com Loses Its Identity

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the rebranding-a-rebrand dept.

wh0pper writes "Digital Trends has a great opinion piece about how Netscape has lost its identity again in regards to their wanna-be Digg portal. One interesting fact I was not aware of is that Jason Calacanis is the person behind the new beta Netscape portal. A choice quote: 'If this business model sees the light-day and it looks like it will, Netscape readers will change from the baby-boomers of yester-year to a younger audience more interested in Jessica Alba's Bikini or Britney Spears than real intellectual news.' I've tried using the new beta Netscape site, and personally hate it. The little link to the external site and the frame to keep you on Netscape's site are deal killers for me. Does the general audience think it can compete?"

      Just like the other one, you know, the one with the crappy moderators and copy-and-paste-editors ... let me think ... I believe the name was Slashdot or something ridiculous like that.

      Ahh, the days ... one could have in-depth discussions with competent gay niggers or read every rat-dropping that happened to be eaten in the Googleplex-cafeteria.

      Great days, truly great days.

    Have you SEEN netscape.com lately? It looks like some fly-by-night infotainment site. Remember when Microsoft was actually afraid of Netscape?
