Global newswire ZDNET has started to avoid CNET and instead has bought up Softseek. The buy, according to the ZD Softseek press release, was to ensure that a software download site was in the Ziff Davis portfolio. For weeks, the rumour has gone the rounds that CNET, runners of NEWS.COM was trying to acquire ZDNET. Those rumours were obviously false. ®
