Check Out New Business Directory From DirectoryM
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or receive my updates by Twitter, IM, or email. Thanks for visiting!
We’re always on the lookout for quality services that will enhance your reading experience. Recently, we were invited to add a business directory to the Blawg. You can find it on the right sidebar below the favorite posts box.
The directory, provided by DirectoryM, was originally created for companies like Newsweek, Inc, and ZDNet. DirectoryM has recently begun to expand its reach and approached us to be part of that expansion.
In addition to providing a worthwhile service for you, the readers, the directory — in the right-hand column below the “Favorite Posts” box — allows us to generate revenue to help defray the costs inherent in the site as well as the substantial time we put into it.
One of the recent movements on the web has been to increase accessibility to local businesses and organizations. When you want to buy a book, you might not care where it comes from. If you’re looking to buy a business, however, you most likely are thinking local.
The local business directory makes it simple to connect with local businesses and services from your area. (Some may be listed regionally or nationally and therefore will appear in your local listing even if not local businesses.)
The categories you see in the directory were hand picked to be the ones most relevant to small businesses and HR professionals.
For instance, perhaps you just read my post Hospital Comparison Tool May Lead to More Affordable Healthcare, which reminded you that you were planning to comparison-price health insurance options for employees of your growing business. Simply click on the entry “Health Insurance” in the directory, specify your locale, and you’ll see a list of numerous health insurance providers. Just two clicks. . . .
Some other examples:
- After reading George’s post “War, Pestilence, and the Second Coming: Is your Workplace Ready?” you might be interested in the category Business Security Systems.
- Reading the post “Electronic Evidence: Who Benefits the Most, Employers or Employees?” might leave you interested in the categories Email Archiving or Records Management.
- Reading about intern Katie Rice heading off to Europe might make you interested in the category Corporate Relocation.
- Knowing that your company’s website could use some work, you might be interested in the categories Web Design and Web Hosting.
- Useful categories related to HR might include: Background Screening, Benefits/HR Outsourcing, Payroll Services, and Staffing
