Description: In a decision that likely won’t be agreed with by the users of last year’s winner in this category, Netscape has been selected as the best all around peer production news site. Though Digg is more popular in terms of traffic than the next three most popular peer production news sites in this category combined (though only barely), Digg remains primarily a technology news site, with actual general purpose news seeping in occasionally around the edges. In contrast, Netscape consistently delivers news on its front page that is genuinely newsworthy and geared towards a broad audience, combined with a mature community that frequently engages in genuine civil discourse in the comments. This highlights the demographics of the site of course since peer production sites have the news stories delivered by their users and the top stories selected by other users. Thus Netscape currently provides the best overall mix of news content and community and wins this year’s peer production news category.

Awesome.
