AOL is once again revamping its Netscape.com Web portal, dropping a year-old "social news" component in which visitors submitted and voted on news stories and blog entries to determine how they're ranked on the site.
Many of us are coming up on two years of Newsvine participation.
Jay Adelson is the co-founder of social news website Digg.com and internet video company Revision 3. He spoke to the Guardian about his plans for Digg in the future.
As with a number of you who have been using digg over the years I've come to love the simplicity of its design and the huge benefits in terms of information. However, one of its biggest drawbacks is the fact that the type of information you can feature is highly restricted.
The people who set the site up and run it, of course.
It all started in 1997, in a time before there was Gmail. Slashdot founder and editor Rob Malda, aka CmdrTaco, wanted a non-college-affiliated e-mail address, so he simply registered his own domain name.
When Seattle-based Newsvine launched in Beta form last January we documented its promise enthusiastically and kept a close eye on it.
MSNBC, one of the largest news sites on the Web, is buying a startup that specializes in user-ranked news and local community reporting.

The Netscape social news experiment is now done. Social News has been migrated over to Propeller.com while Netscape.com itself resembles a Yahoo-esque portal. Didn't see any official announcement from the Propeller/Netscape staff either.
The "Mainstream Media" has had somewhat of an antagonistic relationship with "New Media". Journalists have bemoaned blogging on several occasions, stating simply that "Journalism requires journalists".
Few websites have gone through more reinvention this past decade then Netscape. Last week, the AOL run company announced it was changing again, scrapping their web 2.0 social news experiment and reverting to a portal format. The social news site will be reborn as a new property.
The Netscape/AOL team has given an official update as to what theyre doing with the netscape social news product. Some people were predicting the social news site would move over to www.wow.com, but thats not the case.
AOL's social news site at Netscape.com will soon undergo a rebranding named 'Propeller' (No word yet on whether I have to wear a beanie hat or not)
We've known about it for weeks (despite Netscape's claims that our post was innacurate), but now it's confirmed: AOL has announced the end of Netscape as a social news portal.
Social bookmarking site Del.icio.us launched a limited, invite only preview of version 2.0 of the service this afternoon. The new site can be accessed at preview.delicious.com, although only invited users can actually get in.
The NY Times has officially launched its MyTimes personalized feature today following a private beta started in April 2006.
Scott's got a new project, Publish 2, that is about bringing professional journalism online. He's asking for feedback about it. Let's start with the good news.
OP was to the first link on this page "Too Digg for their Boots" this was originally made popular just minutes ago and then was taken down Are all links that question Digg's authority or censorship going to be taken down in this …
Kevin Rose founded Digg in late 2004. It was the beginning of something phenomenal... to be precise, the Digg phenomenon. Digg was all about the tight-knit community of techies who wanted to get in there, share relevant tech news, vote for it, and talk about it.
The DC Madam's phone list consists of literally years of records, thousands of lines, and untold calls. As you read this bloggers around the globe are pouring over these scanned pages.
There's been quite a lot of discussion on the Vine lately about groups and friends, and I've been mulling it over. I thought I would post this article to express how I feel about them both, and to hear how others feel about them.
So, we now have a major news outlet trying to replicate the look and feel of a blog to deliver your daily news. I think this demonstrates just how influential blogging has become and it will be interesting to see if other news outlets follow suit.
All about delivering the news that people are interested in most. Historically people have had to rely on media providers to not only deliver quality news stories but also to determine which stories are newsworthy enough to merit front-page status....
