CNET ZW Data Action Technologies Inc

Webshots (www.webshots.com), a leading photo-sharing community and a property of CNET Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNET), today launched "Webshots CollegeLive" http://collegelive.webshots.com. Webshots attracts communities as diverse as college students, families, travelers, and hobbyists, who all represent a vibrant part of the site's membership base. Webshots CollegeLive will provide students from 4,100 colleges and universities in the US, UK and Canada a place of their own to plan parties and events, share and comment on photos after the events, connect with others, and celebrate the most popular people and events. Starting today, Webshots members with a .edu email address have access to a special Webshots-created section dedicated to their college, where students can not only see their own photos, but photos from other students on their campus. Each college section can only be accessed with a .edu email address from that school, thereby allowing each college homepage to reflect the true spirit of its student body. "Students are using Webshots to celebrate all aspects of campus life -- from sport games to social events, and they asked us to tailor that experience to their school and add event planning. We did that and added a little social theater in the form of popularity rankings and ratings to keep things entertaining," said Martin Green, senior vice president of CNET Networks' Community brands. "This fits with our goal to provide Webshots members with the best place to publish content important to their life, share with others in their community, and giving them a stage for the enjoyment of photos and activities they value most." Other features of Webshots CollegeLive include: -- most popular photos and a running feed of the latest photos posted for each school -- user profile pages with friends, message boards and popularity rankings -- event-planning tools that help college students create interactive invites with photos, polls and message boards -- "Thumbs Up" ratings and the ability to assign a "popularity quotient" to everyone on campus and their parties encouraging online and offline interaction -- a list of the most popular events upcoming up at their college -- a way to browse past public events to see what happened, as chronicled by attendees With its terms of use, Webshots ensures that every community is a place where people can share photos and connect with others in a fun, but also trusted and safe environment. This is particularly important for college students. For more information on what we consider to be 'good web sense,' please see http://www.webshots.com/html/websense.html.
