She developed computer skills in her free time there, and after graduating from college worked for a [[dot-com company]] as a [[website]] administrator. After the company went under during the [[dot-com bubble]] burst of 2000, her friend [[Catherine Schwartz]] got her hired at [[TechTV]] in 2001, and Webb became employed as the associate producer and web researcher for ''[[The Screen Savers]]''. Throughout 2002 and 2003, she also regularly co-hosted TechTV's ''Call for Help'' with [[Chris Pirillo]]. In April 2003, Webb left ''The Screen Savers'' to co-host ''[[X-Play]]'' with [[Adam Sessler]].

Webb is one of the six TechTV personalities to survive the massive [[layoffs]] resulting from the May 2004 [[merger]] of [[G4 (U.S. TV channel)|G4]] and TechTV. Only Adam Sessler and Webb remained with the network after [[G4 (U.S. TV channel)#Format|G4's change in format]]. After Sessler's employment was terminated in April 2012,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://twitter.com/AdamSessler/status/300820633888104448 |title=Adam Sessler on Twitter |work=Twitter}}</ref> Webb was the only original TechTV personality remaining on the network.

In August 2005, Webb became a contributing game columnist for ''[[FHM]]'', alongside her regular hosting duties on ''X-Play''. Her monthly column was titled "Tips from the Gaming Goddess". Readers were encouraged to email Webb their video-game-related inquiries; she would then answer one question each month. In February 2007, Webb wrote her final column for the magazine, which discontinued its U.S. publication in March. She also hosted the short-lived ''[[Free Stuff]]'' on G4.

From August 2, 2007, to January 25, 2009, Webb had a daily video [[blogging]] initiative called ''WebbAlert''. These videos were 5 to 6 minutes in length, and each consisted of a recap of popular technology news of the day. On occasion, Webb departed from the regular news format in favor of an episode on one particular topic of interest. Examples included a recap of the annual [[TED Conference]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://webbalert.com/2007/12/december-25th---ted-1-life-extension.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071225051411/http://webbalert.com/2007/12/december-25th---ted-1-life-extension.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 25, 2007 |title=December 24, 2007 |publisher=WebbAlert |date=December 24, 2007 |access-date=June 22, 2009 }}</ref> a [[viral video]] special showcasing "future '[[Darwin Award]]' winners",<ref>{{cite web |url=http://webbalert.com/2007/12/darwin-viral-video.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071228022006/http://webbalert.com/2007/12/darwin-viral-video.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 28, 2007 |title=December 26, 2007 |publisher=WebbAlert |date=December 26, 2007 |access-date=June 22, 2009 }}</ref> and tech-centric "Holiday Buyer's Guides".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://webbalert.com/2007/12/december-7th-gadget.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071208120746/http://webbalert.com/2007/12/december-7th-gadget.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 8, 2007 |title=December 7, 2007 |publisher=WebbAlert |date=December 7, 2007 |access-date=June 22, 2009 }}</ref> In January 2009, Webb suspended ''WebbAlert'' indefinitely due to issues with maintaining it on a daily basis concurrently with her hosting duties on ''X-Play''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://webbalert.com/2009/01/january-25th-2009.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090129163045/http://webbalert.com/2009/01/january-25th-2009.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 29, 2009 |title=January 25, 2009 |publisher=WebbAlert |date=January 25, 2009 |access-date=June 22, 2009 }}</ref>
