On the simple user level people will use the site to search for products from their shopping lists, and companies they are interested in or recognize as the manufacturers of the said products. By submitting querries on certain products and companies, users will give us an indication of where research is needed, and become integrated into a community as they receive prompt feedback and see the new information incorporated into the database. On the research level we will welcome submission of new data as it comes along - news items, financial info from less accessible local sources (other than the SEC and other government sources that make financial data public), and anything else that might prove helpful. The two categories of information on the BMP site are articles of critical nature with a business element, and financial affiliation networks.
