In 2000, Compupress launched a new branch under the name of Digital Content (or DigiCon as it came to be known) in order to have an active presence in the area of web development and on-line services. Through this branch Compupress managed the web sites of its own magazines as well as a number of other web services.
Amongst the services DigiCon developed and/or acquired were the following:
- On-line games: The 4th Coming (T4C)
- Auction sites: eBazaar
- e-book publishing: e-bookshop
- Content sites: GameWeb, CompuWeb
Following the burst of the dot-com bubble, DigiCon became temporarily dormant, limiting its activity to the maintenance of the company's existing web sites. In 2008 Digital Content launched two new ad-driven content web sites: Pulp.gr, aiming at the pop-culture aficionado, and PCMaster.gr, a new and revamped site for the magazine's readers. In 2001, DigiCon launched e-bookshop.gr an e-book publishing site.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
