Well, I'm not surprised that someone like you with "shared intellectual DNA" has noted what we're doing with businesses. We've soft-launched the business feature, but are putting the finishing touches on it over the next few weeks before we market it widely. When we do, I hope you will check it out.<br /><br />I'm very excited about expanding our social network(s) to include businesses. It brings community and commerce together in a natural way that just makes sense. We hope it emerges as a model for growing revenue and audience synergistically. We need to find more ways to do that in the news industry.<br /><br />I'll post something on my blog when we're ready to publicly market the Inside Guide. -Dan Hey Mindy.
