The second half of the relaunch of Netscape that I planned is coming to fruition in the coming weeks.

According to a message board post here the Netscape team is already ready to launch the Netscape 9 browser which will be tightly integrated into the news site.

They put out a teaser image (right) that shows social bookmarking, voting, commenting, friends activity, and site mail BUILT INTO THE BROWSER. Hotness! I can’t wait to download this.

It’s been great vindication to watch the Netscape site grow to dozens of votes and hundreds of comments from stories after some folks said it was a loser for only having 5-10 votes per story (uhh… hello, that’s exactly how digg started!).

Keep going team Netscape!
