Netscape Beta, AOL Creates Digg Like Portal
By Jimmy Daniels

Just a little note for our readers who might not happen to go to digg, Netscape has released a Beta version of it’s new digg like portal, where users vote on articles, much like digg, in 30 categories from Art & Design to Women. They currently link to a digg article on the front page and in the comments Jason Calacanis is defending the number of ads, I only see two so I don’t really see what the problem is other than they are right in the middle of the comments, and I don’t like how they link to other sites, instead of just sending you there, they try to keep you on their site by putting it in a frame, and the very first one I tried did not work. This article, Matt Lauer rips into Ann Coulter on Today, simply gives you the navigation on the left and a page could not be displayed on the right. But, as they keep saying, they are in beta, check it out.

AOL needs to die. I say we dig a huge tiger pit, line it with free offers and wait for the mother AOL to lumber by. She won’t be able to resist the free stuff. We’ll need a backhoe to cover her up and smother her. After that we should all be able to get back to normal life…

Really, it won’t be that hard. And it won’t even be wrong: EVERYBODY hates AOL.

Hey, why does AOL have to be a woman in the above scenario? We don’t want that evil thing on our team!

I’m so very sorry. I misspoke. What I meant to say was “…and wait for the demonic alien spawn that is AOL to lumber by. It won’t be able to resist the free stuff. We’ll need a backhoe to cover it up and smother it.
**surprise**
“hey this tastes funny”
“…it lay eggs now, ..enjoy!!”
