Two of the most financially successful Web 2.0 personalities, Michael Arrington and Jason Calacanis, are rooting for the financial failure of their competitors.
Calacanis warns the newspaper industry at his blog: In another 18-24 months newspapers are gonna hit the bottom and I think I'm gonna swoop in and try and buy one, build out the online portion, and buy a local TV station to go with it.
Arrington warns the blogosphere at BusinessWeek: I'm hoping everything crashes…Then I want to go buy all the big blogs.
Today, Arrington...

The hacker that cracked Netscape's cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability and used it to deface the company's answer to Digg.com maintains that he tried incessantly to contact Netscape about the problem to warn them before hand. Netscape thinks he didn't try hard enough.
"Luckily for us, we already had code on the way out the door to address this and similar possibilities. The matter was resolved in hours, if not minutes," he said. " We work hard, we work late -- but there are a ton of script kiddies in the world."
Rudloff denied that...

During his talk at the Wikimania conference this morning, Yochai Benkler criticized Weblogs Inc. founder Jason Calacanis, Yochai probably didn't know that Jason was listening in the audience. During the questions period, Jason got up and introduced himself, referring to himself as a fan of Benkler's work and noting that there really wasn't as much of a gap between them as Benkler might think. This is just a reality of today's online business world, he explained, just like there are paid firefighters and volunteer ones, yet both classes of...

Visitors checking out Netscape's new format were greeted with pop-ups, created from a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, containing profanity, redirects to Digg.com, and the comedic proclamation that someone named Tom Way was the sexiest man alive, giving the exploit a prank feel.
Hacker ethics, as alluded to earlier, include a set of commandments for "moral" use of the trade. Hackers are not to destroy or damage files. They should notify system administrators about security holes located. They should not steal. They should document...

The Diggtrends website has just done some stats relating Digg:
Top 10 users contributed 1792 of the frontpage stories (29.8%)
Top 100 contributed 3324 stories (55.28%)
Nearly 30% of frontpage stories contributed by just 10 people is a pretty amazing stat - talk about the A-List!
So how many digg users are really contributing?
"As per Kevin, there are 444,809 registered users, out of these only 2287 contributed one or more story for the period of 6/19/2006 9:31:28 PM to 7/30/2006 4:41:34 PM, may be most of the users just digg &...

Netscape.com has been hacked via a persistent Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in their newly launched Digg-like news service. Attackers have used the XSS vulnerability to inject their own javascript code snippets into pages on the website, including the homepage. As of now, it has only been used to display javascript alerts with "comical" messages and to redirect visitors to Digg.com

Jason, I know AOL has given you access to their war-chest, but honestly, take that money and invest it into site development. Listen to your existing community. Think of what your loyal Netscape users must think - you're essentially telling them that they aren't good enough and that you have pay better users.

On July 1, Bert Lao, who said he began visiting the Netscape.com portal site years ago, posted an item about his petition requesting that the company “bring back our Netscape.com.” He said the petition received more than 1,000 electronic signatures before Netscape removed his entry from the top stories page and closed all comments.
On Thursday, AOL’s Netscape property will no longer be just another portal - it’s being converted into a Digg-killer.
