Dear CNET members,
Sometimes changes are difficult, but when they are for the better, I welcome them with open arms! And for that matter, I'd like to reintroduce to you a brand-spanking-new CNET TV 2.0 beta, which just recently launched on CNET! The site has a completely new look and feel, and in addition, some cool and amazing features! The CNET TV team has listened to all of your feedback on the original CNET TV and from there have put in countless hours into developing this new site especially for you and your viewing pleasure! Thank you all for your invaluable feedback! I hope you folks like CNET TV 2.0 beta as much as I do, because it is just simply awesome! It's still in the beta phase, and the team is still hard at work on it and soliciting your feedback to make CNET TV even better! So if you have some time after soaking up some videos and navigating around the new CNET TV, feel free to submit your feedback directly on the CNET TV site, or you can just post the feedback directly on my colleague Justin Eckhouse's CNET TV blog right here. I'm sure he will be thrilled to see what you have to say.
So get going; check out the new CNET TV! If you need a little help navigating the new interface, we've got a great "Get to know CNET TV 2.0" tour for you to get warmed up. Have fun and enjoy!
