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:

As some of you know, the big idea behind BPubs 
was to offer a place on the net where service based 
companies could get some publicity for their locally 
developed articles. I had envisioned consulting 
companies, big 5 accounting firms, academics and 
business web publishers all sharing their expertise. 

Well... my quest this week is to ask you or your 
marketing department to submit your article links. If 
you or your company has published a quality article
that would be of interest to business users, get it in!
Some of our more popular publications have 
received 3000+ referrals. AND... if you think your 
article is worthy, send me a note and I'll give it 
serious consideration for the next K2B digest.

Thanks, 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.
