Netscape social news moving to Propeller.com

There were rumors that Netscape will shut down their social news website and redirect the Netscape.com domain to the netscape.aol.com news portal. Now it’s official that the social news website will move from Netscape.com to Propeller.com and rebrand. Currently we don’t know how long it will take until the website will move, but Netscape officials stated that they are working hard on a smooth transition. In it’s first months, the website won’t be as good as the Netscape.com was for the websites that post news on it, because of it’s low PR and maybe even low traffic.

    Good and Bad move as well for webmasters. It’s good that we get a clean fresh start at a soon-to-be large social bookmarking site imho and bad because it won’t really have any real traffic at the begging or even PR, although the last issue isn’t oo relevant as no-follow on links will be most likely be enabled. Anyway I’m looking forward to it :D

    How funny, I’ve seen a couple of backlinks from Propellar in my backlinks and haven’t taken the time to look into them. I’ll have to check it out. It sounds like it’s going to be a good one.
