BeNews

BeNews, "the place with more Be News," was the leading BeOS news website from 1998 to 2000. The site was founded in Cottonwood, Arizona by Adrian Ziemkowski, Jamie Wilkinson, and Shafer Stockton in October 1998. At its peak the site claimed more than 100,000 daily visitors. BeNews closed its doors in January 2000 after a "focus shift" by Be Inc., changing the company's primary development from the desktop & A/V market to internet appliances, leaving many of its users and developers hanging.

BeNews featured a continual stream of updates on BeOS community news, reviews, and InterViews, software updates provided by BeBits, and a periodically published e-magazine, BeNews Extra. An advertising agency called the BeNews Network was planned but never moved past the development stages. The administration backend of the site was originally developed in HeiTML but later ported to early versions of PHP.

Editing staff included Scot Hacker, Oliver Thylmann, Eugenia Loli-Queru, and more.
