CNET (www.cnet.com), a property of CNET Networks, Inc.
(Nasdaq:CNET), is inviting its community and technology fans
everywhere to join the party online as it celebrates its 10 year
anniversary as the trusted, unbiased resource dedicated to helping
consumers buy and use personal technology. Launched today, "The
Power of 10" feature (http://ten.CNET.com) pays tribute to the
evolution of digital living, and provides a glimpse at the exciting
changes to come in the personal tech space. The Power of 10
celebration, which runs through the month of September, includes a
range of fun, original features created by CNET's editorial team.
It promises to keep its audience both informed and entertained,
while showcasing the most remarkable developments over the past 10
years, as well as insightful predictions on the future of
technology. It also showcases perspective on the best, worst, and
most hilarious events of the past decade, provides interactive
forums, and a sweepstakes for CNET users in which one grand prize
winner will receive a CNET Editors' Choice product every year for
the next 10 years. On the more practical and benevolent side,
CNET's 10 year anniversary celebration also includes "Trade up to
the Future," a campaign to help consumers get cash for their old
technology products while donating money to local schools (see
today's related announcement for details). The Power of 10 feature
includes: -- CNET's Top 10s: Launching today with "Top Products of
1995," a new list will be featured each week, with a total of 15
lists on subjects like Top 10 Web fads, Top 10 breakthrough
products, 10 ways porn changed the Web, 10 noteworthy people for
the next 10 years, and gear for the next 10 years. -- Dream Gadget:
In this two-part feature that kicks off today, CNET users are first
asked to share their ideas for the ultimate dream gadget in a
community forum. Then, in September, an editorial feature will
highlight the three best ideas and bring them to life. What would
the product look like? Who would it be for? What would it do?
Professional mockups of the products will be created by a designer,
bringing the ultimate dream gadget to life. -- A look back in
video: A video montage that captures the history, predictions, high
and low points in the last 10 years of personal technology's
evolution. The video also features hilarious footage from CNET's
early days on TV with now well-known hosts like Ryan Seacrest. --

years. -- Trade up to the Future 10-City Tour: As part of the Trade
up to the Future campaign, CNET is hitting the road in a 10-city
nationwide tour. Beginning August 13th in Seattle, CNET and
Schoolpop will host events at local CompUSA stores where consumers
can trade-in old tech products on site, win prizes, and meet CNET's
