Dataprovider.com for Business Information
More data, more business information
Many of our clients are interested only in business and e-commerce websites, and while our great classifier identifies those, we also go beyond: B2B status, international shipping providers, legal entity info, and AI company summaries are right there among the results. We detect and attribute different business classification systems to every business or e-commerce site, including SIC, NAICS, and our most recent addition, GICS. This way, you can quickly find specific, relevant results. Find our Business Information brochure at the link below for a taste of what's possible.

Neal.Fun — It's not that Neal Agawal has too much time on his hands, just that he is much too good at taking time off ours. This incredible collection of mini-games and dopamine-generators is well worth the time it takes explaining to your supervisor what you're up to.
State of Gamification — this two-part read is an exploration into the digital culture (and real-world impacts) of gamification—or, more specifically, pointsification. Think Duolingo XP, Snapchat streaks, Instagram likes, or even Letterboxd tracking: this is data collection and engagement packaged as a choice, writes Norah Rami. Find the next part here, and take a look at our blog on the topic here.
