CNET (www.cnet.com), where people go to discover the latest in tech
and consumer electronics, and a property of CNET Networks, Inc.
(Nasdaq:CNET), today announced that CNET Webware is now accepting
submissions for the first ever "Webware 100" Awards. The awards,
which are chosen by users with input from the CNET expert editorial
team, recognize the best Web 2.0 sites, services, and applications
that are leading the next wave of innovation. Webware.com
(www.webware.com), a CNET site, provides the latest information on
Web 2.0 sites, services, and applications. Its timely and relevant
blog entries about hundreds of web-based services, such as wikis,
blogs, and social networking sites, help users determine the best
products for them to use in their daily lives. Webware is led by
veteran tech journalist and CNET Editor at Large Rafe Needleman,
with additional entries from the CNET editors. �With dozens of new
Web 2.0 sites cropping up each day, it is confusing for users to
determine which are worth using today, and which will survive,�
said Rafe Needleman. �By combining the expertise of CNET editors
and the first-hand experience of the Web 2.0 user community, we�ll
be able to sort through the Web 2.0 scene and identify the best
sites, services, and applications.� Submitting an entry is free and
anyone may do so. To qualify, nominated sites must be live by
Monday, May 7. Beta sites are accepted, but must be in open beta.
Each service must be entered into one of the Webware 100's ten
