Green Business Data Aggregation

Thanks for another interesting article Elsa -and thanks for the mention too!

It is really interesting as tools evolve beyond basic price/geography data. Indeed many of the major search engines are likely to begin to offer customizations such that consumers (and institutional procurement) will have the ability to choose information affinity (ie- not only ratings and certifications, however only the specifics the user might be interested in (ie.- vegan restaurants, fair trade certified, from an SA8000 certified facility, etc.)

The implications are exciting as from my perspective as people can seamlessly gain information with regard to the environmental, energy, labor and philanthropic nature of a business --people will naturally have greater demand for products coming from entities that are balancing life, planet and profit. And that bodes well for all of us (with the possible exception of WalMart, ExxonMobil, Chevron and Halliburton executives).

Palore's Next Version Release

Elsa, thanks for reviewing our service!

Short update ? we?re still in alpha testing, and plan on doing a formal beta release soon, after fine tuning the service a bit. You can expect loads of great content on a wide range of businesses ? the idea is to bring lots of niche content from the end of the long tail and to expose it visually on the major search engines.

If you want us to overlay Google & Yahoo! search results with content from any site please let us know at ?info AT palore.com?.
