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:

Sorry about the lag in newsletter service. Things
got a bit overwhelming over the holidays and the
transition to the new year. The business publishers
didn't slow down while I was away, so here's the
recap of the better BPubs submissions from the last
month (or so... ).

Enjoy the 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.
