10 new blogs after CBS buys TechRepublic

With the announcement that CBS will be purchasing TechRepublic's parent company CNET Networks, John Sheesley created a list of 10 new blogs you might soon see.

Here are my additions to his list:

As the hard drive turns
Rules of Group Policy
Windows BSOD Whisperer
Cold Case mods

What new CBS-centric blogs do you think we should launch?

We could all be working at GE...

Only the local guys are going to get that -- sorry.

Those are genuinely funny. My favorite is #10, but "How I met your motherboard" is just good, clean pun.

Thanks.

Credit where credit is due though. Toni Bowers mentioned CSI:TechRepublic in her Career Management blog.

You fooled me :P

I was expecting this to be a serious post but hehe nope. Nice

I thought CBS would be changing TechRepublic for the worse, I had no idea that this was a joke topic. Good one.

I was concerned when Gartner sold TR to CNET a few years back. As a Gartner subscriber ( bloody expensive memberships!!) I enjoyed the offerings of TR at the time.

The only thing I have really noticed is that TR has changed with the times, not changed with the ownership.

The Unix
The Print is Right
Wallpaper
The Bold and the Italics
Academy of Computer Misc Awards
Criminal Megabytes
Daytime Homepage
Cable Ties

I could go on...

Big Bother House Calls
Twin Peeks (at the latest tech)
and As Cyberville Turns

it's rumored that Katey Couric will head up the new blog division.

Ghost? Whisperer

The Protocol is Right

bye bye techrepublic, it will be sad to see you go. CBS doesn't care about b2b tech... sad end of an era for you.

don't get invited to many parties.

Double or nothing, you're a crasher.

3 casts. If you were a fish you'd be in my deep fryer now.

IF success were as simple as concocting an analogy, you'd be a winner.

That is what happens with these corp buys... First you get moved to a new night and time then you get moves out to the backlot along with F-Troop, The Munsters, The Three Stooges, and Johnny Quest.

the import cartoon (anime) "yu-yu ubuntu"!

hehe,

I love the line up! Can't wait!

This ole O/S

Oh No! I can just imagine the horrors
yet to come....

"Hmmmm...now how are we gonna really monetize all these on-line computer nerd ramblings at Tech Republic,ZDNet etc.? Dvorack who? Sounds like an alien to me," crys the CBS jelly-bean-counters.

Sounds like a whole new take on the collegial axiom "Publish or Perish" is about to take root
on several hard drives there methinks. Hope y'all
got a CBS Rootkit Revealer & Audio/Visual anti-virus suite handy. Looks like you're gonna need 'em.

Alas Poor Dvorack...We knew him well!

I'll miss your interesting and useful columns and helpful downloads. As of today I will unsubscribe from all CNET sites & letters.

I thought it was "Without A Traceroute".

Tracert is the Windows command. Traceroute is the Linux command. I couldn't decide which one to use because I knew whichever one I picked someone would say I used the wrong command. So, I figured I'd save the extra ASCII.

I was right! *chuckle*

In the email newsletter announcing the acquisition, there were two links: one under the headline "CBS buys CNET... now for our 10 New Blogs for the Fall line-up!" and another under "our new Fall Schedule!" The second one brings you here... but the first one takes you not to the top 10 blogs, but rather to "10 Reasons for IT Failure." Is this a snide comment about CBS' ability to manage an internet function, or just a "slip of the tongue"?

Hmmm. Is this why CNET discontinued the online courses? That left a lot of us very unhappy!
