I couldn’t help smiling (okay, laughing out loud) when I read the ValleyWag and Paid Content reports that Weblogs Inc founder and new AOL exec Jason Calacanis would run Netscape.com and turn it into a digg like service.
You see, I’m a former Netscape/AOL exec, and so I keep track of these things and it seems like Netscape has had 5 strategies–and almost as many GMs–in 5 years, so perhaps the Calacanis thing is either AOL’s latest flavor of the moment frenzy, or a profound conviction that since Netscape is their orphan child, what do they have to lose?
There was a new strategy every year for five years–why not one now?
