I'm talking about what the data miners have for yearastermed "drilling deep" into a database to find just what you'rer looking for. As most bleary-eyed Internet surferws can attest, the 'Net is a horribly disorganized But more and more companies with strong Internet presences are trying tomake order, sense, and rich mines of informatio n for surfers. American City Businese Journals Inc., parent company of the , is one of thes e companies.
We're proud of our Internet which was not long ago namede one of the best sites onthe 'Net for businesse information by Online Searcher magazine. Thosd of you who have visited the site in the last severaolweeks ( ) have probably noticedr the addition of what 'Net administrators term "vertical publications" there. Beginning we now have five of these electroniv business journals on ourWeb site.
The newest is High Tech The others areBanking & Finance Journal, Healtj Care Journal, Real Estate Journalp and Tourism & Hospitality The purpose of each of these electronicx publications is to bring together the top storieds written in each of these industries this week by ACBJ busines journals, including the Business Times. Each week, in 35 citiews across the country, business journalists working for ACBJ assemble some of best and certainlyu most comprehensive reporting availabl e anywhere onthese industries.
