AOL launches Netscape 9

Netscape 9
Remember Netscape? No, not the social news/bookmark site. That's called Propeller now. We're talking about the web browser. We'll forgive you if you didn't realize the Netscape browser still existed. We forget sometimes ourselves, and we work for AOL, the company that owns Netscape.

AOL has released the latest version of the Netscape browser. And while it's built on top of Firefox, it offers a few added features you won't find in Firefox (you know, unless you install a bunch of add-ons and Greasemonkey scripts):
  • Auto-correction of URLs
  • Easily resize text boxes in web applications like Gmail
  • Link Pad sidebar that lets you drab and drop links without mixing them up with your bookmarks
  • Sidebar minibrowser that lets you have two web sites open side by side at the same time
There's been a beta version of Netscape 9 floating around for a few months, but now's the time to download the stable release. Netscape 9 runs on Windows, OS X, and Linux.

Propeller launched, with apologies

Propeller launched, with apologies

AOL's old social news site Netscape, has officially relaunched as Propeller, with a few apologies from the team.

We told you about the news that Netscape was planning to reorganize its social news section away from Netscape, and bring it all together in its own unique site. The time has now come, and Propeller has officially launched, Netscape has been moved, feedback is being implemented, performance concerns and technical glitches are getting worked out and we can now make our mind up whether Propeller will live in our bookmark lists.

What's next for Propeller? The content will find its way over to the new Netscape portal as well as on AOL news. Feel free to submit your comments and thoughts about Propeller to the team, they want to hear it.

netscape propeller social newsAs we posted a few days ago, Netscape is segmenting its social news section away from the Netscape portal to its own unique and distinct site. The new site's name, Propeller, was revealed on the Netscape blog this evening, however it is not yet live. We will keep you posted on Propeller as soon as it gets really revealed.

By the way, what do our readers think of migrating the social news to its own site? Is this a good move?
