Interactive Netscape Site Gets Some Sour Responses
It’s sad to see what has become of the once prominent software company that monetized the University of Illinois MOSIC technology to become the first graphical internet browser.
The Netscape browser was a free download, the company made money by selling stock. Their mission statement was something about making Microsoft the plumbing while they became the universal UI, but then something happened to their oxygen supply….
I downloaded that first Netscape browser, then the second, the third and forth. Netscap's home page was my Start Page because it was one of the first sites that allowed personalization, My Netscape. So why doesn’t the new Netscape copy the old and allow its passionate users to customize their portal experience so some will have links and others will get a Digg digest.
AOL is going to be Toast if they don’t get this right; their user base is shrinking, the stock price is falling and that oxygen supply.....
Old vs. New Netscape (or "if you could change GeoCities into MySpace in 2002 would you have?")
