Solid Results: As always, your Text Box is bringing business people, consultants, and company real estate departments to your website. (The internet is used in over 90% of all location search projects.)

Two New Benefits: But there are two very important new groups using the internet – and this Directory.

The Reorganizers: As Business Week put it: “With credit markets picking up and stocks at record lows, buyers and sellers are again circling each other…. Expect a feeding frenzy….Overseas players are expressing interest in the US… Everything is for sale… Many are focusing on smaller targets.”

Second: Thousands of ambitious middle managers leaving failing big companies are planning startups.. Recessions always produce the most successful business startups. These will be the Google’s, Microsoft’s and Hewlett Packard’s of the future.
