Well, he didn't really "plug" Netscape, but he did mentioned Netscape's name while introducing a story about the Illuminati, giving us the only option to assume Colbert (or his writers) read Netscape.com. This could be a brief shout out to Social Media sites. After all if there is anywhere that truthiness is the logic of choice, it's the mass communities of the Internet.

The beauty of Social Media websites is that every piece of news is thrown into the same forum. So a story about the Illuminati has the same chance of reaching the front page as any mainstream media article. Who decides what stories make the front page are the members of that community.

This Illuminati story did not make the front page -- it only got a few votes -- but it caught the attention of the Colbert report writers. And thus as a member of Netscape, I celebrate. Here is the video.



Yesterday's Conspiracy (The Whitehouse Coup) did however make the front page and directed thousands of curious Netscapers to the BBC. Naturally this erupted a discussion full of truthiness.
