CNET AUSTRALIA UNVEILS REVAMPED SITE

New focus on entertainment and lifestyle sections including Travel Tech, Movies and Music

Sydney, 30 March, 2011 - CNET Australia (www.cnet.com.au) has unveiled its new look site, packed full of features that address the way audiences are now seeking information and connecting with communities online.

The new CNET Australia delves deep into the scenarios in which we use tech in our everyday lives - from entertaining us when we're on the move, to keeping us in touch with the latest news or what our friends are doing. Smartphones and tablet computers are no longer in the realm of geek; they are the tools that fuel Australia's productivity, communication and entertainment every day.

"Ask friends or family, you'll find that virtually everyone you know is curious about the changing world of consumer technology," says Pam Carroll, Editor of CNET Australia. "The evolution of CNET Australia means we're now better able to open the doors to new technologies. There are also more ways for our users to communicate with us and contribute their ideas and comments around the latest products or developments in tech - whether they love them or loathe them!"

The new site features a cleaner layout and the added ability to customise your site view, with a range of new features including:

• New membership features that customise your news feed and CNET Australia community network, allowing you to follow friends, editors and topics of interests
• Integrated social media features including Facebook Connect, share functionality on all content and a greater spotlight on CNET Australia's social media communities on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter
• User feedback goes centre stage with stronger placement of user reviews, feedback and user generated content alongside news and reviews
• New Product Finder, Wish List and Favourite Product features allows you to not only find the tech products you want faster, but also track the products you're most interested in
• New site categories including Travel Tech and Movies and Music and new recurring features such as Now Showing (videos from film enthusiasts) and MyGear (user profiles of their tech setup) bring a greater lifestyle and entertainment focus to CNET Australia, something we think is both logical and content that our readers need and will enjoy
• Optimisation towards multi-platform - Consumers are changing the way they consume content, and whether they reach us via phone, tablet, PC or IPTV, we have optimised the site to best fit various-sized devices regardless of platforms.
