James,

CDW is probably the closest, but remember that Amazon is both B2C and B2B. Most in the B2B haven’t gotten to this stage of their Web site development yet.

You start out talking about B2B, but the only example you give is B2C – Amazon.

What is a good B2B site that does what you’re suggesting?

Jennifer,

Thank you fro your question. I think their are multiple ways to handle the issue of sharing investor information as a corporate Web site evolves. Depending on the amount of information you could create widget or Twitter feed to make the data portable via RSS.

Or you could do something more radical. What if when someone visited your homepage you can give them the option to select the information they were looking for and create a custom modular homepage for every visitor.

All businesses have to get better at serving relevant and customized information whenever possible.

I hope this helps!

I think this is a great thought, and I would love to have you elaborate on it. What about investors, we are a fortune 1000 and we have several people who come to our site to look at our investor information, what do you suggest for this?
