Public Company Info--Databases
Invisible Web
What's Up With SECInfo.Com

The site hasn't been online for the past couple of weeks BUT good news, it will be back soon. I just had a brief chat with Fran Finnegan, the site owner and he informs me that the SECInfo.Com database is currently being rebuilt on a new, faster server. It will also return with a new ISP which should also improve performance. Fran told me that he hopes to have his very useful database back online in the next week or two. Stay tuned. If you would like to get an idea about how SECInfo is designed, check out a cached version of the homepage via Google.
