Mag Bag: 'Inc.' Site Expands List Of Savvy Companies

Inc. Site Expands List Of Savvy Companies

Inc. magazine's Web site is expanding its traditional print list of 500 tenfold online, with its first publication of the "Inc. 5,000." Leveraging the unlimited publishing capabilities of the Internet, Inc. Online is highlighting a slew of companies that wouldn't make it onto the print list--but still deserve recognition for innovative strategies or eye-catching products.

The magazine's Web site is also set to launch a social-network-type exchange for private businesses, called IncBiz.net.com, due out in October.

The Inc. initiative follows the announcement in May by McGraw Hill's BusinessWeek that it is partnering with Capital IQ, a division of Standard & Poor's, to launch a Company Insight Center hosted on the magazine's Web site. The new online content area will triple the size of the BusinessWeek site. Information and analysis will cover companies, industries, markets and leaders.

Shah was previously head of digital publishing for the network.
