Blackwar Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 i always thought that cnet and zdnet were always partners cause i always would find links on either site to each other.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelca Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Yep, cnet bought zdnet. Look at the bottom of the 3rd and 4th screenshots you posted. They contain a list of sites that are part of the "cnet network" including cnet, zdnet, techrepublic, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessterw Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Wow this is old news, CNet bought out the ZDNet web site and some other properties awhile back, early to mid last year I think. The only thing that's left of ZD is the publishing company, as ZDTV is now TechTV as we all know. Also the ZDNet site has been looking more and more like the CNet site for awhile now too.

Killa-b Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 but remember it was 2000 when a few billion here or there was no big deal to anyone, HAHAHHA but none the less Ziff Davis is / was a MASSIVE company, and their roots are in mag publication which im sure is 100% more profitable then the net **** they had going. you dont think there is money in publication?? go look a McGraw Hill, they dudes that make your science text book also OWN the S&P, which means they basically own the entire business sector of N/A. ok tonight im really rambling sorry dudes!
