I DON'T want marketing spam, I do

want news stories, product

reviews, people I know leaving or

starting there.

I want to know when a

company launches a new

product. I want any

financial

announcements from a

company.

In your own words, please describe the kinds of company updates that you would

be most interested in receiving.

Updates that include large strategic & people shifts in

the company. New product launches, discoveries of

new technologies / partners with technologies. Large,

unexpected financial changes. High profile talks by

key leaders, i.e. CEO, President, CFO, CMO's etc.

I like to stay in touch

with the industry. New

tips- tricks, and

people moving

around.
