Great Ideas Don't Die, They Get Reincarnated

The Dharma Web

At one time Northernlight used to have a website that allowed you to see what payed for content was available under a given search string. It also grouped it for you. Now the company website is brochureware for enterprise search services.

I found out about the 'new' (well new to me) Northernlight by clicking on a advertisement on the New York Times Online (by the way please can you click on the ads on the bottom of this page, thank you).

The mantle instead has been picked up by HighBeam Research, who have an excellent website here. It even picked up some content that LexisNexis had missed. The best thing is you only pay for what you click on making it ideal for job interviews or school projects.
