Netscape is Better than Digg

..or, at least in my opinion it is.As the new version of Netscape is just over a year old now, it seemed like a good time to fairly compare Netscape and Digg, the 2 most popular social news media sites. Pronet did a good job going over the basics of Netscape, as they did for Digg as well.

By the Stats

Digging further into the details - yes - Alexa, Compete, and anyone else that covers stats clearly shows Digg as the winner. As of 7/19/07, Alexa ranks Digg as 95 versus Netscape’s 569 ranking.
But wait…what about Page Rank?

Planning a major software purchase? You can increase the probability of success of a software implementation project, and avoid singing the implementation blues, by doing your homework and following a proven model for success. This model includes an analysis of your current business systems, a vision of your improved system, an improvement process, and education. Also, top management must buy into this model, and support it at every step.

At some point during school you probably learned about Odysseus’s brilliant plan to sneak soldiers into his enemy’s city in the guise of a magnificent statue of a horse-the famous Trojan horse, to be exact. It’s a great story, and the plan was such a great tactical maneuver that, unfortunately, hackers have adapted it to suit their malicious attacks against your computer.

A Trojan horse, in the computer world, is a seemingly harmless program that delivers an unwanted, unsafe program that can have dire consequences. Unlike a computer virus, though, it relies on the user to complete some sort of action that triggers the program. So, like Odysseus’s Trojan horse being pulled inside the city walls, you have to open or install the item to release the harmful program, like Odysseus’s soldiers swarming out of the statue.
