We have been discussing the search engine freshness factor in our latest pieces of observations. Few days have passed since Netscape changed from its old portal version to a brand new Web 2.0-social-bookmarking-news combination. The change is currently debated. Our opinion is that this change is very positive and exciting and we are certain that the new Netscape will give us more insight in what’s happening in our world. Read/Write Web has more on the new Netscape.

We have a habit when we visit new Web pages; we checked the page’s cache in Google and the cache for Netscape.com was since June 28th 2006. Today is July 2nd 2006. Five days have passed since Google cached one of the world’s most popular Web destinations. Fresh enough?
