It's wonderful that you think our new baby, BNET, is comparable to the decades-old, established business magazines. But we really don't see ourselves as competing with them. They are (very broadly) about "business sports" -- who won, who lost, who got traded, what's the point spread. BNET is about excelling at work, in your job, at your desk during lunchtime, with those annoying competitors, imperfect information and without the budget you really need. To put it another way, most business mags are about other people in other jobs; BNET is about you in your job. I just can't imagine the content that we're publishing showing up in any of the business mags, except as a one-off special section. Their bread and butter ain't the same as ours.

If you look at CNET's partnership page: http://www.cnetnetworks.com/partnerships/ Some of the business mags they are going after are already their partners. Wonder how long that will last.
