CNET (www.cnet.com), the trusted, unbiased resource dedicated to
helping consumers live the digital lifestyle, and a property of
CNET Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNET), today announced My Products, a
free personal product catalog located at
http://myproducts.cnet.com. Available to registered CNET users, My
Products gives consumers a single information resource to
centralize all the technology products they own, so they can access
manufacturer information -- like warranties and product manuals --
as well as technical support phone numbers for those products. In
addition, a user can track the products they want and easily share
those "wish lists" with other CNET users or family and friends -- a
great way to share ideas during the holiday shopping season.
Products are added to a users' personal catalog by simply clicking
the "Add to My Products" button found on all CNET product review
pages. Catering to its most passionate and engaged audience, CNET
is also adding valuable new personalization and community features
for registered users, allowing them to establish and share with
others their personal profile that includes their My Products list,
as well as an aggregation of their posted user opinions, forum
entries, and all of their user content. This holiday season,
teenagers listed MP3 players, video game consoles, computers,
portable gaming devices and cell phones as gifts they'd like to
receive.(1) Each of these products comes with manuals and so much
paperwork and information that can easily be misplaced. With My
Products, CNET gives consumers an easy way to organize all that
information in one convenient online location, as well as direct
access to a manufacturer's technical support website. "Most
consumers have that 'wish list' of gadgets they want to own one
day, but before they can actually go and make that purchase, they
need to do their homework," said Dennis Smith, an associate vice
president at CNET. "With My Products, users can create their own
personal 'wish list', and access information on cost, availability
and much more, and store all that homework in one quick and easy
place. In addition to a centralized location, they always have
access to product reviews and advice from CNET's unbiased expert
editors." About CNET CNET (www.cnet.com), a property of CNET
