Reed Business Information Launches New Global B2B Search Engine: Zibb.com

Reed Business Information Launches New Global B2B Search Engine: Zibb.com
Those interesting names for search engines keep coming. :-) This is a new service (Beta) from a new division at Reed Business Information named RB Search that might be of interest to some of you. Reed's RB Search is being led by CEO Stephen Baker, who some of you might know from his days at AllTheWeb and Yahoo/Overture.

Fast Facts:
+ Search box shows 5 tabs (types of searches)
1) All
+ Filter Results by industry on some results pages
2) News
Trade press.
3) Products
Here, result pages are organized by category. Click a category and see company names. Narrow by country. Results come from the KellySearch business directory database, another Reed Business Info product. Select company name to get basic directory info, contact info, etc. You might also find links to digitized (full image) product catalogs.
4) Suppliers
Using KellySearch database.
5) Web and Blogs
Again, ability to narrow.

+ Result pages include links to Google Ads. Users can send comments or submit URLS.

With Reed and Baker behind Zibb.com, this is a new service that is at the least worth knowing about, perhaps spending some time with, and monitoring for improvements and new features. Some advanced searching (limiting to city, state, country, etc.) would be useful particularly with the KellySearch content.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
