The Professionals' Data Base
Imagine a data base of all the professional people in the country. Ziggs, currently in Beta testing, is supposed to be that data base. It works pretty good if you are looking for high profile types like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. But when you look for lesser folk it's pretty much hit or miss. I tried it with people that I know and with only one exception it came up empty. It's a work in progress however and promises to be an interesting tool as soon as it gets more data. Ziggs encourages professionals to submit their own profiles for listing in the data base. A promising new site with a long way to go before being totally functional but worth keeping in site.

Ziggs is a work in progress. It launched with over one million profiles in October, and within its first 100 days grew to over 2 million profiles. It's growing by 5,000 - 10,000 profiles each day. So as it builds momentum, more and more professionals will be found within its Index. You can search by name or keyword, such a 'realtor in Boston,' or 'attorney in Chicago.'
In the meantime, it still serves as a great resource for hosting your own online profile, so you can be found the way you want to be found. Ziggs lets you quickly and easily create an online profile, which gets instantly listed. It's very easy to use. Give it a try at www.ziggs.com.
