OH MY NEWS — Oct 26 — Netscapereleased its code as open source, and Firefox was born to become a
distant No. 2 in the browser space. A new group has created "Flock" based on Firefox. Del.icio.us is wildly popular utility site for "social bookmarking," that lets users store and share their favorite site links. Digg,
a tech news Web site, allows members instead of editors decide which
stories get on the homepage. Flock adds a social networking

Del.icio.us, and other goodies. Its blogging tools let users
