CNET is about destination websites. With Chowhound / Chow.com you are looking at users that will have a very high repeat history at coming back to the website. Also , whats funny is that why would you think that CNET is not about content ? Most of the Gamespot & Redball products are all about content. What is different with this site is that a lot of the content is from the community, this is more in line with the reviews you see on yahoo , yelp , about , etc All in all its a smart move to continue to diversify out of Tech & Games that tend to have their heaviest activities in Q4 and around major convention dates like E3. Destination sites that are used year round just make sense for Web Companies that may feel their too focused in one key group of Industries. For the following think about what new unique group will be available and when they are most apt to look for content. TV.com Metacritic Chow.com & Chowhound.com Webshots.com Consumating.com plus the new sites to come The key is to think about the content and the Advertisers that might be attracted by it plus the fact that you can also leverage content deals with other companies like Google for example. It makes perfect sense.
