AOL Shifts Netscape Social News to Propeller.com
Linda Rosencrance, Computerworld
Less than a week after AOL LLC announced plans to remake Netscape.com into a more traditional news portal, the company said in a blog post that it will migrate its social news from Netscape.com to a new site, Propeller.com, that is slated to go live soon.
Although the social news site is still available at Netscape.com, it will soon be redirected to the new Netscape portal that is already available, according to the blog post. The Netscape portal looks like a more traditional news site that offers news stories and other features.
"You'll notice some elements of our social news site there in short order, so that it will be easy for you to go back and forth and engage in each if you like," the Netscape team said in its blog post. "We're working hard behind the scenes to ensure a smooth transition before we officially launch at [the] new destination."
According to Netscape, redirecting the social news site will allow users to choose how they want to share and communicate with one another about stories of interest to them as well as take part in the community.
