In what a first-of-its-kind partnership between a blog media company and a major media company, we're thrilled to announce the unveiling of a collaboration between Corante and CNET.

The relationship has Corante producing and managing subject-specific blogs for the expanding blog section of ZDNet, home to CNET's enterprise-focused news coverage.

It's a big win for us, validation of the brand we've built, and a significant step forward for blog media in general. It's also the first of a number of substantial announcements we'll be announcing in the coming weeks and months.

The blogs:

Open Source, authored by Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier and Dana Blankenhorn.

IP Telephony, authored by Russell Shaw.

and Service-Oriented IT, by Britton Manasco and Joe McKendrick.
