New Resources for Company Information by Paula J. Hane, Newsbreaks (Apr 3)
Business information - company profiles directory style - is becoming available in very new ways and places through innovative partnerships and initiatives.
"The professional networking site LinkedIn has added a company directory, and a new company still in beta, TradeVibes, is working to build a user-generated database of company information."
Linkedin is working with BusinessWeek.com and Capital IQ, a unit of Standard & Poors, to provide its 20 million members, 160,000 company profiles. Businessweek is also added a Company Insider feature.
Tradevibes works on a wiki principle - people add the information - it "specializes in up-to-date information about private companies and serves as a tool for finding and sharing news and opinions about companies"
