How should a site selector go about gathering information about locations?

Start with a set of site selection criteria in hand and build a network of contacts. We usually refer to such information as location data or economic development data in The Network. Many location data suppliers make their information available online these days. Location data suppliers throughout the world have a standing offer to list the places they represent online for free. Those who want to step out from the crowd to let site selectors know that they have information available are offered the opportunity to participate in The Network. Anyone can anonymously request that a location, anywhere, and a location data supplier be listed.

I've run into a file-not-found message. Now what?

To answer the question we make the assumption that you that you found something of interest, say, on a page of search results and selected a URL address string or link only to find yourself at a dead end. The address was vacant or, perhaps, you received a message that its file was not accessible. In any case, we offer assistance through our search promise. We've learned over the years to save copies of resources users recommend or that we otherwise discover and believe to be worthwhile. For example, we saved copies of a couple of files (example) of the now defunct American Community Network. Send us an email if you run into a situation where you think we might be able to help. We'll give it a shot, no cost or obligation.
