product or service. Sites listed directly under Business/Resources should provide a comprehensive overview of the field of Business. The information contained in these sites should cover multiple areas of business. Resources typically include search engines *and* directory information. They usually provide directories, FAQs, chats, forums, news, publications, etc. all on one site. Sites that are solely directories or search engines should be placed in either the Directories or Search_Engines subcategories. -- rdkeating25, updated 6/16/00
