Netscape.com on uudistunut portaaliksi joka yhdistää ammattijournalismia, blogijournalismia ja kansalaisjournalismia niin sanotuksi hybridijournalistiseksi kokonaisuudeksi. Lukijoilla on lisäksi mahdollisuus antamalla ääni nostaa tärkeinä pitämiään juttuja etusivun juttulistan kärkeen. Olisiko tämä Netscapen paluun alku surffaajien suosikiksi?
Ainakin Steve Rubel on tästä enemmän kuin innoissaan:
Netscape is going far and wide with this launch. The new site covers everything from art and design to religion to sex, sports and more. Each vertical has a paid anchor who basically serve as community managers. They provide further context and even host 24/7 chats with users! Each vertical carries RSS, a real-time view of submitted news, and tags too, making it easier for readers to find relevant content.
The new Netscape.com is a winner. It brings together the best of the old world and the new to create a new media model for the 21st century. Whether it succeeds or fails in pulling in users from other sites like digg is irrelevant. AOL will put massive marketing dollars behind this to attract users not to mention advertisers. It is also extremely refreshing to see AOL breath new life into the Netscape brand in such a meaningful way. Kudos to Jason Calacanis and team on this new endeavor. When you look at this site, Blogging Stocks, AIM’s new social networking community, AOL Video and the new My AOL, the grand daddy of the Internet is back and in a big way.
