A new Conde Nast print and online publication with a focus on business, Portfolio, recently hit mailboxes, newsstands, and the web.
The Portfolio web site (it’s labeled a beta, of course) at: http://www.portfolio.com/ is constantly updated with original material as well as what appears to be the full text of the print edition.
+ The mobile version of Portfolio is at mobile.portfolio.com
+ Over 500,000 Searchable Company Profiles
Powered by Inform. Many profiles offer a link with company structure info. Example.
Profiles also include video (if available, powered by Blinkx) news headlines, etc.
+ Thousands of Executive Profiles
Including a list of the most popular profiles. We’ve listed several profiles of “search execs” *** below. Profiles include age, board affiliations, overview.
Caveats? Of course, no database or research tool is perfect. We noticed several outdated entries as we spent some time looking at the content.
