My favorite: "Http://beta.netscape.com doesn't actually work -- it's the clumsy WWW.beta.netscape.com. Details, AOL! Details!"

i actually Digg the new Netscape. I've been to digg a few times, never really got me, but i like the channels idea here. It's got potential and for AOL to have come up with this, there's hope for the future.

We could wait around for things to be firing perfectly and cleanly. Or, we could release ASAP to the masses, and get free QA testing from folks like yourself. ;) Thanks for the feedback, the change went in earlier but took awhile to propogate.

Both has its advantages and disadvantages. Bottom line is that both can exists together and in the end both will be better sites because of the competition. I think a number of people at Digg.com are a little worried. AOL/Netscape has some pretty deep pockets and if the folks there really wants this thing to take off they have the avenues to make it happen. Whether or not they can retain those users after getting them may be another matter.

The old format was much nicer. This new one is bland and outright sucks
