AOL-Netscape launches social news, Digg copy

Netscape, the brand that kick-started the dot-com boom only to lose the browser war to Microsoft, launched its latest reincarnation today with a portal focused on community-driven news. It�s not exactly a Digg clone. Submitted stories are voted on in much the same way, and the more votes a story gets the higher it appears in a category home page or on Netscape.com itself. However, the top few spots in each category and on the home page are determined by an �anchor� - essentially an editor choosing from stories moving up the ranks.
