Company Also Announces New Marketing and Distribution Partners
For Company Sleuth
WAYNE, Pa., Jan. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Infonautics, Inc. (NASDAQ:INFO) a
rapidly growing Internet information company, today released a new version of
its free online business information service, Company Sleuth
(http://www.companysleuth.com). The enhanced service provides users with
improved customization and navigation tools and offers a significant amount of
additional content. As part of its effort to grow the Company Sleuth brand,
Infonautics has also announced marketing and distribution relationships with
more than a dozen leading Web sites.
Company Sleuth now offers users even greater control over the display of
information. They can individually select what information they would like to
receive in their daily e-mail alerts and what information should be displayed
on their Company Sleuth "stakeout reports." Recognizing that all users aren't
interested in the same content, these new features allow for greater
personalization of the service.
"Company Sleuth has received an incredibly positive response, receiving
over a million visits in the first 60 days of availability," said Joshua
Kopelman, executive vice president of Infonautics, Inc. "Our users are a
diverse group -- investors, entrepreneurs, marketers and corporate executives
-- who desire the convenience of a daily e-mail that contains all the new
information on their investments, competition and partners. With this new
version of Company Sleuth, we have created an even more powerful and
convenient corporate research tool."
In addition to the broad array of content previously available through
Company Sleuth, Infonautics has added ten other sources of business
information to its enhanced service, including:
Federal litigation filed by, and against, companies, provided by
MarketSpan, Inc.; Improved SEC filings data from EDGAR Online;
Analyst and broker report summaries from Nordby International, Inc.;
Company overviews from Market Guide Inc.; "Earnings Whispers" estimates of
quarterly earnings from EarningsWhispers.com; Enhanced 15-minuted delayed
stock quotes from NewsAlert; New message board content from Silicon Investor
and the Raging Bull; Detailed patent information including full claims and
descriptions; Detailed Domain Ownership Information.
As part of its efforts to brand Company Sleuth as the leading online
provider of free, legal inside business information, Infonautics has also
announced marketing and distribution relationships with more than a dozen
leading web sites and services, including Alexa Internet, Ask Jeeves, Earnings
Whispers, INVESTools, Morningstar, Nando Media, Raging Bull, and Stocks.com.
"We are very excited to be working with such leading Internet brands.
These marketing and distribution partners will help increase Company Sleuth's
exposure and reach in the marketplace," said Kopelman. "We plan to leverage
our position as a leading provider of business information to attract
additional marketing and distribution partners to our service."
