Mon, 13 Nov 2006 17:23:37 +0000

[…] Le service est joli , avec peu de contenu et peu de membres. Des parties du site, tels que les FAQS, n’ont pas le bon le formatage et ont des images “cassées” (images sans lien). Simplement, cela ressemble à un travail en-cours, au mieux, et il supporte mal la comparaison avec le site TechRepublic de CNET’S, qui a récemment ajouté des caractéristiques de réseaux sociaux. […]

[…] The service is pretty bare-bones, with little content and few members. Parts of the site, like FAQs, have inconsistent formatting and broken images. Basically, it looks like a work in progress, at best, and it compares very poorly to CNET’s TechRepublic, which recently added social networking features. […]

[…] On the plus side, CNET seems to be making efforts to make their sites for relevant to its audience, and many of these changes are so recent that it will take a while to see how they affect traffic. […]

(Stephen Howard-Sarin ): 4 million “registered” users, sure. But, how many of those 4 million visit every day? As we all know, “registered” users means nothing. You may have someone in your database that registered in 1998, moved out of the IT field in 1999, and hasn’t been back to the site since then. A lot of sites have been doing the social networking thing for years, but it’s only now getting recognized as a valid direction. A lot of these sites still do it better without a Web 2.0 interface.

[…] プラスの材料としては、CNETが読者の要望を反映したサイト作りを目指して努力していることだ。こうした改善の多くは本当に最近やったばかりなので、トラフィックにどの程度の効果を及ぼすのか、結論を見るのはまだ先の話になりそうだが。 […]

I am a happy user of Upload.com. And nothing beats a new software launch than putting it on Download.com /Upload.com.

Folks, you don’t go to CNET.com to find out everything at CNET Networks. (Just like you don’t go to NBC.com to see everything at NBC Universal, or Time.com to see everything at Time Warner, or MTV.com to see… you get the idea.)

TechRepublic is targeted specifically at IT professionals. It bears little or no resemblence to CNET.com, which about everything in personal technology.

Oh, and AJ: IT Toolbox is about the same age as TechRepublic and a LOT less popular. Ditto for Experts Exchange. We’re all in the same basic business of attracting and serving IT pros. And I guess it’s no surprise that we see the same opportunities in bringing more Web 2.0 features to this user base. May the best site win!

Drama: TechRepublic has mover 4 million registered users.

Interesting, ITtoolbox (www.ittoolbox.com) has been doing this exact thing for eight years with tremendous sucess. Here’s a recent ClickZ article that highlights their newest professional netowrking feature that I think is what CNET is trying to accomplish:

How many members does TechRepublic have? Looks pretty small. The forums are absolutely horrible. Layout and organization is pretty poor.

In addition to recent updates to Consumating, Webshots, and Chow, the launch of AllYouCanUpload and the acquisition of UrbanBaby, CNET relaunched popular Tech news and community site TechRepublic today. FULL ARTICLE @ TECH CRUNCH BLOGMark Brooks: I’ll never forget reading about how jazzed the founder of Consummating was, after the acquisition by CNET. He was most jazzed that CNET allowed him to continue to wear his various facial piercings at work. Consumating, and engage.com, are two of my favorite, significantly departure from the norm, dating websites. […]

Mike - thanks for the mentions.

For those thinking “why don’t they leverage/combine CNET.com and the other properties and why we don’t “portal’ them, or massively integrate cross promotions? ”

Our approach is to build sites *specifically* targeted to each audience and content. The best comparison to our strategy is that of the the cable model (MTV, BET, Nick, ESPN, Speed). Each brand focused on something specific as opposed to the portal like strategy pursued by the broadcasters (NBC, ABC, CBS).

On the cross promotion front, we will do a better job of cross promoting, but the last thing we want to is force everything into a lowest common denominator or pretend that hardcore gamers at GameSpot have the same needs as the food fanatics at CHOW.

Ryan: Mike was referring to http://www.techrepublic.com as the myspace for geeks.

I’m feeling a bit of deja vu where CNET is concerned these days. All of these efforts combined with the fact that this Thursday they’re launching CNET TV (ZDTV or TechTV anyone?) makes me go hmmmm … As someone who worked at TechTV for several years, I always thought that the idea was a valid one, but between the unfortunate timing (launch in 1999) and the worst ever management team, that venture was doomed from the get-go. I, for one, would love to see CNET’s redesign and new efforts work.

I don’t see a link to ANYTHING resembling myspace. I even typed in http://www.cnet.com and explored the main page… nadda…

To put it another way, “What the hell are you talking about?”
