  • Import your chat transcripts into WordPress

    Problem: You have years’ worth of chat (AIM/MSN/Adium/IRC) transcripts saved on your computer, and you’d love to stroll down memory lane and reread some of them, but how? Manually open each one in your browser or chat program?? There’s got to be a better way! Solution: Install IM-porter, the WordPress plugin that imports your instant…

  • Netscape is dead; long live Mozilla.

    Tom just posted the official announcement: As of February 1, 2008, Netscape will no longer exist as a product-producing entity. “AOL’s focus on transitioning to an ad-supported web business leaves little room for the size of investment needed to get the Netscape browser to a point many of its fans expect it to be. Given…

  • Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

    Some of may already know this, but I am no longer with Netscape (voluntarily, no hard feelings there). I felt that it was the right time to move on to something else, and in late November, I did so. I’m now working for Mahalo, mainly on Mahalo Follow/Social. If you’re up for it, you can…

  • Netscape.com rebranding

    Tom announced last night the rebranding of Netscape (the social news site) on the Netscape blog, and of course, Valleywag TechCrunch got it all wrong (and even stopped by to gloat). I’m telling you, if TechCrunch was an entertainment blog, they would have reported Prince’s name change as a murder.

  • One year at AOL

    Today is the one-year anniversary of my first day at AOL/Netscape. More importantly, I’ve also been blogging for a little over a year. This means that I can start taking the lazy way out and post

  • AOL News and Netscape.com

    AOL News has undergone a redesign to be more “bloggy” (according to Reuters). Part of this update is that now they’re featuring the top stories at Netscape.com under the “User Submitted News” in the left-hand sidebar. I wouldn’t mind that section being a little higher up on the page though, maybe replacing any of the…

  • C.K.’s start-up life

    C.K. Sample III describes the last two years of working in various start-up environments inside and outside of AOL. I found this part especially interesting: Aside: I must take a moment here to implore everyone at AOL: release the new Netscape Browser. I’ve played with early versions of it and it’s great. The best browser…

  • Netscape now an OpenID consumer

    Netscape’s OpenID support is live. This release also greatly simplifies the signup process by removing the captcha and the request for other information that was previously required for registration.

  • Netscape to support OpenID later this year month

    The announcement just went public that, starting on Monday, Netscape.com and My.Netscape will support signup/signin via OpenID, and consequently, AOL screennames (AOL hosts an OpenID for each registered screenname). I’ve used the OpenID registration/signin process in our QA environment, and it is slick. Kudos to Blaine and Trey on this awesome new feature. P.S. I…
