CNet Introduces Open Content Platform

Posted on: Tuesday, 11 December 2007, 12:00 CST

CNet Networks, an interactive media company, has introduced the open content platform for CNet Networks. This new distribution model enables CNet networks to share content with publishers from around the web.

Through the open content platform, CNet Networks can export content from its brands BNet, CNet, CHow, GameSpot, and TV.com, and import premium content from other publishers to enhance the user experience on its own sites.

CNet Networks stated that with the open content platform, it is creating a way for content to flow seamlessly between publishers in five categories - business, technology, food, gaming, and entertainment.

Neil Ashe, CEO of CNet Networks, said: "At CNet Networks we are focused on creating great user experiences through premium content. With the open content platform, we are introducing a way for content to move around the web with no strings attached - putting CNet Networks content in front of people wherever they want to consume it, and introducing new editorial voices into our branded destinations."

Partners include AOL, YouTube, and NPD Group, as well as web sites and blogs such as BuddyTV, Cupcake BakeShop, GeekEntertainmentTV, The Gothamist Network, Revision3, Savory Cities, Virapop.com, and Wikia.
