I posted earlier there were some big changes coming for the Netscape website. Well, this morning the “Social News Experience” moved to its new home at Propeller.com and Netscape.com became a traditional portal. The official announcement is on the Netscape blog. Check out the announcement and look for great things to come.
Tom has announce the new domain for the Netscape social news site on blog.netscape.com. You may have guessed from the image; the new domain is propeller.com.

When the suite was king, Mozilla decided to create a runtime environment called the GRE (Gecko Runtime Environment). This was going to be a shared platform for building Gecko based applications. The decision was made to stop working on the suite and move to individual applications, Firefox and Thunderbird. The original plan was to have these applications running on top of the GRE. Eventually, that idea was dropped as well and instead the GRE was statically compiled in. Mozilla then decided to create the XULRunner as a platform to build Firefox and Thunderbird on top of. Yesterday, this was scrapped as well.
Why is Mozilla always doomed to repeat its past mistakes

Alex Faaborg writes in a recent blog post " Much in the same way that operating systems currently associate particular file types with specific applications, future Web browsers are likely going to associate semantically marked up data you encounter on the Web with specific applications, either on your system or online. This means the contact information you see on a Web site will be associated with your favorite contacts application, events will be associated with your favorite calendar application, locations will be associated with your favorite mapping application, phone numbers will be associated with your favorite VOIP application, etc."
This is a project I would really like to take on in the future. I can see this having huge implications about browsers, and the way we interact on the web.
