Here’s another new feature we’re launching: ReadWriteWeb Companies. It’s a company index, powered by TradeVibes. Now whenever we write a review of a startup, you may see a RWW Companies widget at the end of the post – with lots of contextual info about the startup (funding, people, competitors, news, and more). It’s a nice value add for our readers, we hope. You can see an example of the widget at the end of this post, for TradeVibes owner Mill River Labs.
We’re not the only site that is running a TradeVibes widget, so this isn’t a unique feature. Also there are similar company indexes in the market, including KillerStartups, CrunchBase, and Niall Kennedy’s Startup Search – to name just a few. Those are all great products and we have considered creating a similar proprietary product ourselves. But why recreate the wheel, so we went with TradeVibes. Let us know your feedback in the comments below.
