Hi,I have also looked at the www.nambiz.co.cc site.The site is currently an incomplete start to something good. An economic/business/social directory is a form of research-based writing. This one still needs a lot of research to be done.I would suggest that rather than creating a large empty shell, it would be better for the author to start of with some limited, local but dense content, and then expand the directory.It would also be good to add related content around the directory, with stories on business conditions in the country, business history, biographies of key figures (and not just the site creator's history, interesting though it is), stories about key geographical locations and areas (e.g. stories about ports, roads, and other infrastructure), and last but not least, stories about the roles of higher education, universities, and research in business development. For example - ecologists working in desert areas may have helped ecotourism to develop in the country.
