Propeller.com

Sep.19, 2007 in Netscape, Online Media

Netscape officially became Propeller.com today, and Netscape.com became Netscape.aol.com, a sad, skinned version of AOL that will most likely result in short term ad revenue gains, but in a long term continued downward spiral of traffic for the site.

All the best to the Propeller team. I hope you can succeed despite AOL’s bad decisions.

Share and Enjoy:

They’re really set on killing this franchise, aren’t they? Why, for god’s sake, doesn’t the netscape.com forward to properller.com? at least for a little while? There isn’t even a sign on netscape.aol.com that says “You’re probably looking for Propeller.”

Actually there is, if you look at the top near the sign in, there is a link, also half way down the right hand side of the page there is one.
