I just wanted to post that, despite some, ahem, setbacks, the Digg Top Users list is still being updated daily and is as accurate as ever.

Netscape 9 Teasers: Week IV

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

I just posted this week's Netscape 9 update at the Netscape blog: Netscape 9 Saves You Time:

"Netscape 9 will be the first major browser to automatically correct common typos entered in the location bar. The browser will watch for nearly 30 different types of common mistakes and correct them for you (asking you to confirm, if you choose to enable confirmation), hopefully saving you some time and frustration in the process."

Business Week reports:

"Later this year, Digg will launch a recommendation tool able to expose members to fellow Diggers who appear to have similar interests, says Rose. 'Digg will be smart enough to know what interests you,' says Rose. The site will identify those with like interests in part by the previous stories they have dug and 'buried'—the site's term for voting down a story."

Oh, you mean like this?

Seriously, why is this news? They slapped a "width: 192px;" in their style tag, and I see it in half a dozen of my RSS feeds.

Netscape 9 Teasers: Week III

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

This week at the Netscape blog, I wrote about the allowances we've made in Netscape 9 for installing extensions targeted at Firefox 2:

"Since Netscape 9 will share an architecture with Firefox 2, it is very likely that most Firefox 2 extensions will work in Netscape 9 without modification. This is why Netscape 9 will allow you to install extensions that list Firefox 2 as a compatible version but do not explicitly list Netscape as well. This feature will give all users of Netscape 9 immediate access to Firefox's wealth of custom extensions without having to wait for each author to update the extension's compatibility file."
