Mediadome, Inc. is launching its browser software for the interactive gaming industry and working with CNET Networks, Inc. to develop a downloadable media rich browser for PC and video game enthusiasts on CNET's popular GameSpot (www.gamespot.com) Website. GameSpot users will be able to download the browser directly from the GameSpot site.

Mediadome creates customized browsers for its customers. For Gamespot it is tailoring its visual bookmarking technologies to integrate multiple Web pages into a single viewpoint. Each Web page is identifiable and accessible with the full functionality of a single page in a standard Web browser. Users will be able to download a GameSpot browser that incorporates multiple Web pages containing information about their favorite games, including product news, reviews, downloads, and pricing information into a single viewpoint.

The GameSpot browser, enhanced by mediadome, augments existing content, integrating a new dimension by not only displaying multiple Web pages but also by using intelligent content placement to deliver an enhanced experience. In this initial version of the browser, the displayed Web pages can either be directed by GameSpot or configured by the user.

mediadome integrates a broad range of Web technologies, including media/audio players, plug-ins, tickers, and services. The software is designed for customization of both the user interface and browsing environment. It incorporates a customer's brand into the Web browser, enabling uniform corporate identity and persistence across the Web. The customization features include 'skinning' of the browser to further enhance the company's brand.

The GameSpot browser enhanced by mediadome will be available for free on GameSpot at www.gamespot.com/mediadome.
