damn, people love nostalgia

TechCrunch reports that AOL is discontinuing Netscape Browser Development.
Check out all the comments on this. Close to 100 people remember the “good ole days” of using Netscape Navigator. I’m a total geek, and I remember when Marc Andreesen and company came out with Netscape. In fact I even hung out at the Netscape offices down in Mountain View a bit; I had friends working there.
However!! the amount of nostalgia displayed on the TechCrunch post is kind of gross.
Plus, this is news? I was actually more surprised to read that AOL was doing *any* development on the Netscape browser at all.
Nostalgia is death. Let’s move on.

Hi Jacqui,
I am a Technical Recruiter in NYC and am working to find some talented individuals for what is already a flourishing startup called Animoto.com. Currently Animoto is looking for a Ruby on Rails Architect and I feel that you would be an amazing fit for this position. If you are not interested, I still would greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak with you briefly to at the very least ask for your assistance or advice with regards to where I could look for some talented people who are quite skilled with Ruby on Rails and are looking for an opportunity to work with some great people for a great company with an outstanding new product (not to mention earn a great salary with possibilities for options, equity, etc…). I realize it is a bit strange to contact you via your blog but I do not have your e-mail nor do I know another way to get in touch with you as I did not want to go through your work. I originally came across your profile on LinkedIn. Thank you Jacqui…if you get the chance, please call me at 212.331.7900 x106 to discuss, I would truly appreciate it.
Regards,
Josh
