The site, in 1997
A business technology news site from Ziff Davis, which began as a subscription service for CompuServe users.
By the end of 1998 it led its rival CNET by 26% and was the 13th most popular site on the Web. CNET Networks agreed in 2000 to buy it for about $1.6 billion, and Ziff Davis took it back in August 2024.
In 1997: Redesigned around topical channels and renamed from ZD Net to ZDNet. Its first section of original reporting, ZDNet News, had launched two months earlier.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
