There are many ways in which I receive information in my daily work routine. One of the more popular ones is a feed from a website called “Meatingplace.com”. The ironic play on words is that it is not a meeting place as in a place to meet others of similar interests but rather a place for all new links and announcements related to meat; the industry in which my organization competes in.
"Meatingplace" is a well known resource for industry professionals looking for any tidbit related to the industry. Everything from market news, employment opportunities, quarterly earnings reports, equipment development, and new product launches, to environmental achievement and OSHA awards. Members can choose from a variety of menu options from the dashboard on the lefthand side of the website. The site sends out a daily news brief as well as a monthly publication which is available in print or electronically. Membership is free with a valid email address and you can visit the site by clicking the link below.

ReplyDeleteMy friend Ian created a similar sort of thing for the HR industry. It is a newsletter which is updated daily with blogs, videos and other intersting news pertaining to this industry. This provides me with information and insight that assists me in performing my job: Daily News
ReplyDeleteI also find that as a social media tool, LinkedIn works for me in a different way, but is also very informative.
Neat site Steve. I can see how it would be very valuable to yourself and others who work in your industry. Having access to relevant and up-to-date information must prove very valuable in making the proper business decisions.
ReplyDeleteClever name and a good example of how an industry aggregates publicly available information for use by its members.
