The Content500 listing will appear in the January/February 2000 issue of Content magazine. The issue also contains a number of profiles of key solution providers in the content creation/media asset/e-business management field. The listing will also be available on the www.content.net and www.contentworld.com web sites.

In early 2000, ContentWorld will inaugurate an ongoing profiling process covering the leading content providers, technology vendors, and emerging companies. Monthly electronic subscription updates will be available in MS Word or FileMaker digital formats.

The Content500 will also be published in a paper, directory format with more comprehensive data than the magazine listing, including company descriptions, key personnel, and financial data, if available. The listing contains industry-specific solutions, including those tools that target just one vertical industry function (storage, search engines, image browsers), as well as those that deliver a more integrated approach to branding, workgroup/workflow and e-business management.

The Content.net web site is the center for all activities related to the Content500. For more information or to apply to receive a complimentary copy of the January/February 2000 issue of Content magazine, visit http://www.content.net.
