Welcome to Inside CNET - CNET

Hi, I'm Jeremy, VP of product and audience development for CNET, and I'm introducing a new(ish) column, called Inside CNET. This is a forum for me to update you, our favorite readers, with what's going on in our product development process.

For the first piece in this series, I'll explain what a "product development process" means, as I recognize it's not exactly day-to-day terminology for the majority of our readership!

Simply put -- liberally defining "a product" as "a thing people use" -- here at CNET our "product" is any and all of the following:

• Our website: Including the home page, the templates for how our articles and reviews look, our "best laptop/tablet/coffee machine, etc." pages, the navigation layout, the video player, and so on.
• Our apps: Tech Today and CNET Reviews & More.
• The publishing system: With 20 years of original content, we have a pretty sophisticated content management system (aka CMS) to support all the custom needs we have.
• Potpourri: We have lots of other components too, from our Featured Stories to the recently launched Technically Literate series, all of which require product oversight.
