CNet’s Savvy Steps

Tuesday, July 25, 2006 | No comments

CNet buys baby site, car site, and expands beyond tech, reports Rafat Ali. Earlier, they bought food site Chowhound.

I conjectured in a previous post how a next generation new media empire would be built.

Well, CNet could roll up a lot of great micro-media web properties, including Rafat Ali himself, to become the next Time Warner. If that happens, we would know for certain, that the center of gravity of the content industry has finally shifted to the West Coast.
