There's an article in today's NY Times about an investment group that's going to try to revive CNET. The main idea seems to be to be more like Yahoo, to which I say, good luck with that.
But, anyway, I seem to run across CNET pages all the time on web searches and what I know for sure is that it's always a bad idea to follow the link to CNET. Almost as bad an idea as following the link to an about.com page.
Here are two tips for CNET: (1) A collection of advertising copy is not a very useful "product guide"; and, (2) camouflaging a pop-up ad as an embedded link doesn't make it less annoying.
