A lot of tech Web sites don't make it easy to find their best stuff. CNet is no exception.

I always say that the best way to present just about any quantity of news is in a sequentionally arranged blog (also known as "just a normal blog").

I've been reading Matt Asay's The Open Road for months now, but I had no idea that I could get his entries and the proverbial "so much more" not at the somewhat worthless CNet News page but at the very useful CNet News Blog site.

It's another one I'm now reading every day. I've even been going there before ZDNet, since the blog format makes it so easy to scan the entries and actually figure out what they're about.

CNET's ZDNet has been through some hard times of late. A redesign that few love, but which has been tweaked a bit in recent weeks, the laying-off/firing of excellent writer George Ou ... you know the drill.

But now CNET has been bought by CBS for "$11.50 per share, representing an equity value of approximately $1.8 billion. The acquisition will make CBS one of the 10 most popular Internet companies in the United States, with a combined 54 million unique users per month, and approximately 200 million users worldwide."
