Source: EContent The Content 100
From the December 2001 issue. Now available online. An interesting and useful list. Short descriptions and urls for all companies. EContent editor Bill Mickey writes, "It's not a buyer's guide. It's not a definitive list of all the content companies. It's not complete, even for what we set out to do. What this list does accomplish, though, is illustrate the incredible variety and depth of the content industry."
