Business Research: Hoover's Launches the Hoover's Index of Leading Public and Private Companies, Non-Profits, and Associations

From the announcement:

[The index is] a free, proprietary monthly index of the leading public and private companies, non-profits, and associations which represent the brand leaders, up-and-comers and "buzz" creators driving the U.S. and international economies. The Hoover's Index, which reveals monthly spikes in company search activity, represents a relative ranking of companies generating interest and exposure independent of pure fiscal performance measured by most business ranking indexes.

The Hoover's Index is based on a proprietary algorithm that takes into account the search trends of business professionals, including both organic and internal searches on Hoover's site, as well as business-related searches conducted via major search engines. Movement above and below index will determine ranking, instead of gross search volume. A company's ranking is derived from the changes in search volume, indexed against the previous 52-week average for that company.

1000 companies are listed in the Hoover's Index. If you would like to review the complete list, you need to complete a registration form.

Direct to Hoover's Index Web Site

Top 5 (as of today)
1. Clearwire Corporation
2. The Blackstone Group L.P.
3. Vans, Inc.
4. TXU Corp.
5. WebEx Communications, Inc.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

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?
