CNET must have bought them recently. The site was much cleaner when I last visited.

The site doesn't look 'cluttered' to me. Cool find!

Desperate for revenue.

A lot, but CNet has a thing for short domains. They own TV.com, Radio.com, News.com, com.com, download.com, upload.com, search.com, mp3.com, and the list goes on and on. Should the company ever go belly up, the domain names alone are assets worth a fortune.

of all the million ZD properties, how many are not a waste of electricity?

Well are we talking about Ziff Davis or ZDNet? Ziff Davis sold ZDNet to CNet in 2000, so everything up to that time is now a CNet publication. However all of the magazines and Ziff Davis websites launched since then (1Up, ExtremeTech, etc) are still Ziff Davis.

ok, so am i correct in saying ZD is 100% lame, while ZDNet/CNet is 95% lame?
