Netscape vs. Digg checkup: Netscape head says he's beating Digg
"We're on the same trajectory that Digg was at the beginning," Netscape head Jason Calacanis said onstage at the Web 2.0 Summit today about his social news site's main competitor. But that's not what one online stat tracker says. According to Alexa, Netscape's traffic has fallen since he revamped the site, despite Calacanis's claim that they're adding a thousand users a day.

To-Do tonight: Have fun (!) at Web 2.0, or find Waldo
- No badge, no pass, no problem: Hang out in the Sonoma conference room, which Mashery rented out as soon as it heard O'Reilly was holding its conference here. They're handing out margaritas, and I hear the wifi's better than the sketchy conference connection. Hell, I'm walking down there as soon as I finish this list. [SF Gate]
- Did you RSVP for AOL's dinner with a "special guest" (Hint: word is it's Lou Reed)? Then heaven help you when you try to slip in. []
- Is there an Ask.com party tonight? Any other parties? Can I get a witness? Tips@valleywag.com if you know of one.
- Or dress like Waldo and join the crowd outside SF's Ferry Building. [Laughing Squid]

- You don't need to buy a pass to this week's Web 2.0 Conference, starting tomorrow morning. As with all cons in the Palace Hotel, you can just hang out in the lobby and schmooze. (That's the real point of these cons anyway.) But the workshops tomorrow will be harder to sneak into. [Web 2.0 Conference]

Loose Wires: In Furrier's defense, Vloggercon WAS too nerdy
- Overheard Podtech founder John Furrier (pictured) saying a few things at the Vloggies, an award show organized by his company: For example, "Vloggercon was too nerdy." That's a little less respect than he paid this summer's videoblogger conference when he went on stage. But I can't recall which vlogger he called "a hottie" at the afterparty. [Photo by JD Lasica]
