I told you earlier in the week that a redesign was coming today, and I wasn't lying. Hopefully when you see it for the first time you recognize how much we were pushing for simplicity.

PC Magazine once again put together a list at the end of last year that wraps up 100 of their favorite blogs, and I'm pleased to say that CyberNet made it this time around! I don't think they are in any particular order, but we're on the third page. There are a lot of great blogs that made the list, so Ashley and I are very humbled to have been included.

Wow, time sure does fly, doesn't it? It flew by so fast that we almost missed our Birthday! Almost... This past Tuesday, December 3rd, was our official 3rd Birthday. We've taken some time this week to put together another Birthday Bash full of giveaways, just like last year. Unlike last year, we're giving you a heads up on when to expect the giveaways so that more of you will be able to enter.

Our Daily Downloads articles have been one of my favorite things to do because I'm the type of person who keeps a close eye on software. Unfortunately they are also rather time consuming because of all the information we try to aggregate into one central location.

During the days when CyberNet was a hobby for Ryan and I, there was an excitement to reporting on the the latest tech news, for fun. Once we graduated college and made CyberNet our full-time job, some of that excitement seemed to disappear.

A new website launched the other day called Quarkbase, and its goal is to provide details about all kinds of different websites. It gives you details like who owns the site, ways to contact them, how many articles are on Digg, and so on. It's a pretty cool service and all, but I'll admit that I didn't have any intention of writing about it.

A few days ago MoFuse decided that it was time for them to unleash their professional accounts for free. Previously grabbing one of these costed $3 per month, and what's great about them is that you can use your own domain. We thought about it for a little while, and then decided this would be a great chance for us to launch our own mobile site. So that's exactly what we did:

Over two years ago Ashley and I started to think about what we could do on CyberNet News that would help distinguish us from the millions of other blogs that are out there. That's when we came up with the idea to start a CyberNotes series which we would write each and every day of the week. They have since evolved into an extensive set of reviews for products, applications, and websites.

Those of you who were checking up on the Daily Downloads today might have noticed something new. For each download that we listed there's a section stating which platforms they are compatible with: Windows, Mac, and/or Linux. We were going to do just a text-based system for listing the platforms, but we wanted to make it easier for those wanting to glance through real quick.

After installing the new WordPress update on Sunday, for some reason it became more apparent how many posts have been published on CyberNet.
