    In which I am prodigal.

  • 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…

    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

  • Netscape Navigator 9 Beta 2 Released

    We released the second beta of Netscape Navigator 9 today. Much praise to Richard for taking the lead on development and the roadmap this round.

  • 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…

  • Is Digg hiding stories from search?

    This link to the Navigator 9 download page was submitted to Digg around noon on Tuesday and received 10 diggs over the next 24 hours. A story about a Firefox-based browser release submitted by a top-100 Digger? That sounds like possible front-page material to me – why only 10 diggs? Maybe it’s because the story…

  • 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…

    See you later, Navigator.

  • Let’s see if this works…

    Love him or hate him, controversial blog-boss Jason Calacanis knows his linkbait. Brooklyn-born Calacanis, formerly the editor of the Silicon Alley Reporter, made a “how-to linkbait me” post on his popular blog, which he writes with his trusty bulldog Toro by his side. (Jason is more recently known for being the impetus behind the relaunch…
