BPUBS K2B - KNOWLEDGE TO BUSINESS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EDITOR: Steven Matthews, MLIS

Knowledge to Business (K2B) is an update service
for business owners and professionals. Twice a
month you will be e-mailed links for business articles
that have stood out as submissions to BPubs.com
[ URL: http://www.bpubs.com ].

EDITORS NOTE:

I've received a number of questions regarding the
"BPubs" name. Typically people will wonder "If you
index articles why do you call them publications?"
Good question... and while the answer sometimes
includes "because BArticles sounds strange", the
real answer is that I'm hoping BPubs will evolve
beyond written discourse.

As the web becomes more multimedia driven, I can
index video seminars, audio presentations, or any
other format that business content takes. The common
element here is that different types of business content
will be "published" on the web. Hence the "pubs" part
of BPubs.

Enjoy this weeks articles ;-) Steve

"NO HOMEPAGES. NO INDEXES. NO SURFING...
JUST CONTENT BECAUSE YOUR TIME IS
WORTH SOMETHING"

You may have caught the BPubs homepage tagline
and wondered "what's that all about?" Well... BPubs
is crusading for a miniature revolution in the way
search engines work - it's called "Content Indexing".
You can read more about why indexing 'only content'
may become a trend in the way search engines are
changing at the BPubs "about this site" page.
