Netscape’s Digg-like Search Implementation
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post wondering if Digg could ever be a competitive and comprehensive search engine. Jason Calacanis has taken the first step by incorporating Netscape News results on top of Google results in the Netscape search page. It’s worth a look, but it isn’t even close to being a Google replacement. I still wonder if a bot that automatically crawls and adds stories to Netscape would be able to take this search implementation to the next level. Good luck Jason; I’ll be watching to see in what directions this project evolves.
Side Note: Sorry for all the dead air lately. I’m in the thick of my move to NYC, so I have lots of work and no internet access. I was shocked to find that no one has an unsecured WAP near me in my apartment building. How did everyone get to be so internet security saavy?
