AOL Relaunches My.Netscape in Beta

By the Betanews Staff | Published March 6, 2007, 2:47 PM

Following the complete revamping of its Netscape portal to a Digg-like social-driven news site where users submit links to content elsewhere on the Web, AOL has relaunched My.Netscape in beta as a customizable homepage after taking it down months ago.

The result is much like other personal homepages from the likes of Netvibes and Google: users can select different types of content "modules" that are driven by RSS feeds. "My.Netscape will retain its identity as a personalized homepage, with a minimum of ad clutter," says developer Tom Drapeau. However, past My.Netscape users may not be too happy, as all of their stock and bookmark settings have not yet been migrated.
