Robert tried our services, that he considers as "a very significant development for market researchers and is an example of new types of open source document aggregation sites we may see in the near future."

Cedric Deniaud, author of the blog Internet, Webmarketing and Multimedia, wrote an article on todays Vertical search engine trends. Cedric took in this interesting synthesis the example of Reportlinker.
