NEWS AOL is looking for staff to revitalise Netscape, the one-time poster child of the internet but now a shell of its former self
In an attempt to revitalise its mostly gutted Netscape division, AOL is seeking to hire product management and business development professionals.
On Monday, Jeremy Liew, general manager of Netscape.com, posted a message on a jobs mailing list calling for candidates to apply to work for the organisation, which played a key role in the development of the web but has since faded from glory.
"Netscape is aggressively hiring right now," Jeremy Liew said in the posting. "We are treating Netscape as a 'restart,' with a mandate and a budget to take Netscape in a dramatically different direction, although still focusing on its current businesses."
Liew said the company had multiple positions in product management, with "experience in search, browsers, consumer-facing Web sites, consumer software, authentication/personalisation, or web publishing all valuable."
