Two days after the replacement of Netscape’s RSVC (Read Submit Vote Comment) site with a good old 90ies style portal, Netscape reveals where their Digg clone is moving to next - propeller.com (not yet online).

Let’s just quickly go through the things that are slightly off with this entire affair:

- no Netscape branding on the new site, at least not in the name and logo
- why wait two days before announcing the new site?
- propeller.com sounds completely generic, like a domain Netscape/AOL had in stock somewhere for years (and perhaps now decided to blow the dust off it, slap some service on it, and sell it in a couple of months?)
- AOL has a history of killing off their services after a while

Based on all this, I’d say that Propeller doesn’t have too bright a future.
