While Ashe is at it, byt doesn't he bring back that spectacular success, Snap! Online! ?

Tell me, do they still all of the content management development and internal tools development out in NJ?

]]> <![CDATA[If I worked at CNET, this layoff memo would make me want to quit]]> The memo is as transparent as it is salient. Simply, Neil Ashe states that CNET needs to embrace change by exploiting their first-mover advantage to drive efficiencies by conceptualizing and architecting brand-centric, seamless, end-to-end, best-of-breed solutions for forward-leaning virtual communities.

The new is old. Agile is the new New. We are at the tipping point. This will change everything. It's about dynamic aggregation, not static accumulation. High impact/low adhesion. Vertically integrated solutions for a flat world. Long tail, meet fat snout. You need someone who gets it: Splog is an aggregate noun. Roll your own roll-your-own. Social is the new push. Tag the globe, then globalize the tags. Microformats for metablogging. Enable rich-client widgets for on-demand streams. Above all, incentivize semantic synergies and you'll never have to worry about monetizing sticky eyeballs - they'll be glued to your viral paradigm!

It'd be nice if executives didn't make them so cookie cutter, but that almost never happens. And it's damned-if-you-do - if you try to be entertaining or funny and fall flat, you look callous.

I could not have written something with so many words that were so intelligible. I thought I knew what CNET's business was, but now I have no idea. You would think a company that communicates to the public about technology would be clear and concise in all of its communications.

I've personally given up on CNET. Too many times when I've googled a product review CNET pops up first, but never has the review, just a link to buy. And one of it's tech experts was on a radio show last week and in answer to a caller's question about buying a phone for a trip to China, said that Asia uses CDMA and Europe uses GSM.

I only had time to go back 6 weeks. I am sure there are plenty more treasures where those came from. This is the kind of grammatical recycling I expect from Calacanis' blog mills, not Gawker.

So to cut costs and to try to make more money we are cutting the dead wood. Well...when i say dead wood...i mean the small people...cause the people who get the big wages would cost too much to get rid of. Sorry about that (disclaimer: Im not sorry but thats the kinda crap you write in these memos)...wishing you every success in the future...Neil. (Mr Ashe to you lot)"
