But in fact it is an iyp with the opportunity of costumer editing their entries. If no company claims an entry brownbook would not earn money. And the upselling is not very innovative either: highlighted profiles, additional information - all that sounds very familiar to me. Apart from that, the idea behind is a very competitive one.

After reading this article I took a deeper look into Brownbook and even set up our profile there. It does seem to run along the same vain as Yellowbot or Merchant Circle where the business themselves are the one generating content and links to each other and out to their individual sites. Although I like the trend of high visibility directories becoming easy to use as these, but it also has the risk of inaccuracy and attacks as well. This is a pretty good site.
