This is a disruptive play. And this what Netscape needs if it is to ever be a significant player with its new digg-type format. I said it before, they have the traffic. And they have the dollars to throw around. As long as they have those two things, this is a long way from over. [...] […] Calacanis is no fool. This is a disruptive play.

The next incarnation of Digg will open up to a more diverse number of categories leaving the tech geek niche. And what about Digg-like Netscape beta which launched a week ago? Guess what the top story is as of this writing? The pending Digg v3.0 launch. I’m not sure at what point this joke becomes real old, or if it’s already there, but it seems strange visiting the new Netscape and seeing stories about the new Digg.

Taking a screen shot this tall using my method would take me at least 20 minutes, so I figured there had to be a better way. I posted a comment on his blog, and he told pointed me at Andy Mutton’s Screen Grab utility for Firefox. Installed it and restarted, and it seemed to work pretty well.

I found their frameset useful, but my own experiments with framing other sites discouraged me from ever trying it. It wasn't just that they might break out of the frame (understandable) but that their JavaScripts could break and make a mess. What do you think of how AOL frames external sites?

Thanks for sharing that. I updated the post with that info. I'm currently checking it out and submitting a few stories. Will be very interesting to see where this leads.

We're doing something new... we're adding a group of full-time anchors to the popurls/delicious/furl/digg/reddit model. When a story hits the top 20 we will do reporting on it... so, imagine the site as the New York Times but the users select what the reporters work on. that's kind of hot i think.... we are in beta… yes. we will get there, a ton of folks are trying to get in and the activity is just crazy.
