Webshots (www.webshots.com), a leading photo-sharing community and
a property of CNET Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNET)
(www.cnetnetworks.com), today unveiled a new look and new
functionality that makes it easier than ever for its vibrant
community of millions of monthly users to interact with each other
around shared interests. Webshots' fresh, streamlined look and
navigation reflects innovative new back-end file retrieval
functionality that allows for more robust and intuitive community
engagement. In addition, now featured are 10 channels based on the
site's most popular categories of interest including Entertainment,
Family, Good Times, Home and Garden, News, Outdoors, Pets, Rides,
Sports and Travel. The redesign sets the stage for Webshots'
upcoming launch of integrated video and photo sharing capabilities
that will let users mix the two media types in a single shared
album. "Webshots was the first to introduce public photo sharing in
1999 and in that time has seen users publicly share more than 400
million photos in thousands of areas of interest," said Martin
Green, senior vice president of community, CNET Networks. "This
fall, the sharing of interests and community-building that we call
'social theatre' will grow to include both photos and video clips
in a shared album, which is a first for a free service." In
addition to improvements to the user experience, the redesign
reduces total space devoted to advertising by 40 percent, making
for more compact but effective and valuable ad units for marketers.
And, starting in September, Casio's Exilim Digital Camera campaign
will take advantage of the precision targeting and integration into
the user experience created through new custom "skinning" and
sponsorship of the Webshots Travel channel. About Webshots Webshots
