The Lycos Download Library came about in response to research that showed millions of people who use the Web for downloadable software and shareware are frustrated that they can t find the information easily. Most download libraries only offer a few dozen featured titles. The Lycos Download Library featuring ZDNet offers tens of thousands of software titles that can be downloaded and tried.
Many programs are free including action games, clip art, screen savers and more.
The co-branded Lycos Download Library has the Lycos look and feel and includes a search area where the user can type in a term and a series of matching results of downloadable software are delivered. Additionally, operating platform requirements and information as to whether the software is free or is available for a fee is supplied. This is the first co-branded integrated marketing program between ZDNet and Lycos. The site will include additional links to other sites where files can be downloaded. By teaming up with recognized leaders in online media such as ZDNet, we have achieved this goal.
