Online Information Industry--Lists & Rankings
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."

Web Search--FirstGov
Source: Government Computer News
"GSA Searches for a New FirstGov Engine"
From the article, "The General Services Administration yesterday released a request for proposals for a new search engine for the FirstGov database portal.Inktomi Corp. of San Francisco holds the current contract, which expires March 31. The new contract will be for one year with four one-year options. Proposals are due Jan. 17, and GSA wants to award a contract by Feb. 28. The winning vendor will provide installation and hosting services, maintenance and software support. The software infrastructure must be able to spider and index the volumes of uniform resource locators and data GSA expects will increase over the next five years.
