Aug. 9, 2007, 6:43 p.m.I will repeat the comment I wrote on the TC story:
Umm... who are all of these sources? I run the Netscape.com social news site now, and I wrote the text that you quoted in your article.
The cobrand launch this week was simply an effort to give a place to go for those who desire a Netscape portal experience instead of a social news experience.
The Netscape.com social news team is alive and well, despite your "rumors", and have extensive plans for 2007 and 2008 which are already in progress. We may exist in a different AOL division than the AOL.com team, but that doesn't make this a turf war.
I am speaking to the editorial team right now, and as they knew this portal was launching weeks in advanceâ;¦ they aren't "completely freaked out".
Where are you getting these sources/rumors?
If you are curious to know about Netscape.com, e-mail me at tom at newnetscape dot com.
