Netscape.com Closes Social News

Netscape.com Closes Social News

I think by you should've known Netscape's announcement. If you still have no idea of the latest buzz, here's an excerpt:

To the Netscape Community…

There are some upcoming changes to the Netscape.com site that we hope will improve your experience. We'll be providing two different news options for you based on what you've told us over the past few months.

Visitors to Netscape.com will see a more traditional news experience very soon. Don't worry, the social news site isn't going away! We will keep you updated on where you will be able to find the social news site as we get closer to making the switch.

By just reading between the lines, the company admits it is dumping the social news site. But then, the company added:

What does this mean for the netscape browser?

Absolutely nothing will change. The only area that will be affected is Netscape.com. Anything else associated with the Netscape brand will remain the same.

But come to think of it, is it really done for good? Or was it just a total failure?
