Thanks to the increasing popularity of Wikipedia, wikis are taking off as information resources. What separates wikis from other Web sites is that they rely on users to both contribute and edit content. Now business data aggregator Alacra has joined the parade with a wiki that points to sources of business information across a wide range of topics and industries.
At the moment, most content has been provided by Alacra editors. Later this year, users will be able to contribute entries, request changes, and participate in forums.
As with most business portals, you'll find handpicked links to a wide range of business information including business blogs, content aggregators, event calendars, publications, trade organizations, personal profiles, and publications. But the real distinguishing feature is the Alacra Spotlights area, which offers links to resources in some seventy industries. The editors guide you through each industry with commentary and summaries on the resources they've chosen to highlight.
