Hoover’s Launches New Platform and Nearly Doubles Coverage

Paula Hane Writes:

Hoover's (www.hoovers.com), the well-known online resource for reliable company and industry information, has launched a new platform that is designed to appeal to both its subscribers and its advertising partners. Users now experience an improved site design and benefit from enhanced functionality, but they also have access to nearly twice as many companies and people worldwide-now more than 65 million enterprises and 85 million professional contacts globally. The new platform architecture also allows Hoover's to introduce a new advertising platform that offers a wider range of ad sizes with an increased level of targeting and placement.

Additional actionable information includes in-depth First Research Industry Profiles and a "Build A List" tool, with more data points and fields for better targeting and qualifying. The List tool uses Hoover's ConnectMail, powered by Jigsaw, to download from among millions of Jigsaw email addresses for targeted campaigns. Much of Hoover's database growth comes through its partnership with business directory service Jigsaw Data Corp. that was announced in November and has been in beta testing since then. Jigsaw is a user-generated database built and maintained by its B2B members, which, of course, means that its accuracy is only as good as the users who choose to participate and keep it up-to-date. (Members add business contacts to get the business contacts they want.)

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?
