etscape was one of the first World Wide Web browser development
companies.
They offer Internet enabling technologies, content
services, but have become best known as a "portal" company.
A portal is a place on the Internet that
consumers go through to reach their ultimate destination.
Now that AOL has acquired Netscape, the Netscape shareholders will become AOL shareholders (.9 shares for every 1 share of Netscape). Though everyone knows that "AOL Sucks" as an Internet Service Provider (ISP), there are some interesting things to note. For instance, AOL owns CompuServe and ICQ (the chat room software). America Online also made a smart move early on -- they became the kids choice. Now every kid in America wants to belong... "has" to belong.
