Under the terms of its deal, newsgroup cataloguing service Deja News will let its users search discussion
forums from Netscape's DevEdge
site for Web developers. DevEdge, in turn, will link to Deja News from
the DevEdge site.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
In the latest installment of its "Project 60" initiative to build out
its Netcenter content aggregation site, Netscape inked a deal with CNET: The
Computer Network.
As part of the deal, Netcenter will create a new Computing & Internet
channel combining existing Netcenter content with CNET content from its
COMPUTERS.COM, DOWNLOAD.COM, GAMECENTER.COM,
BUILDER.COM, and NEWS.COM
sites.
No money or stock will change hands in the two-year contract, according
to Robin Wolaner, CNET's executive vice president of technology
publishing.
"This is a branding deal for CNET," Wolaner said. "We're going to be the
supplier of computing- and Internet-related content for a dominant
resource for millions of Internet users."
Content from COMPUTERS.COM, GAMECENTER.COM, BUILDER.COM, and NEWS.COM will appear cobranded on Netcenter. DOWNLOAD.COM content will keep a CNET
attribution, but the primary branding will be Netscape's.
BUILDER.COM currently maintains a content relationship, unrelated to the
Netcenter deal, with Netscape's Open
Studio site for developers.
Netcenter's Project 60 launched last
month with the announcement that Netscape would partner with USA.net to offer free Web-based email on
Netcenter. Subsequent additions to the two-month-long build-out include
a deal with Excite to
provide a Netscape-branded search engine and agreements to expand the site's
job listings
and
its channel
for small businesses.
