CNET, the computer network, is one of the oldest pilar of the internet. I worked there is 1996 and 1997, at a time when browsers were being re-invented every months.
As the design lead of the R&D team, I got to work directly with teams at Netscape and Microsoft, getting sneak previews of their upcoming browsers, so that CNET could showcase the new functionality as soon as the new browsers launched. I was also the art director of activex.com, for which I experimented with nifty activex elements. The 4.0 browsers came with a set of channels... remember pointcast? The CNET channel delivered technology news to your desktop. The channel teaser was originally built using all the coolest dHTML filters, a brand new technology at the time. This is a shockwave version. |
