SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- BNET
(http://www.bnet.com) and Seeking Alpha (http://www.seekingalpha.com) today announced a
content-sharing partnership that complements the core offerings of each
respective site. BNET, a website that provides information and tools to
help business managers succeed at work, and a property of CBS Interactive,
will feature abstracts of Seeking Alpha's earnings call transcripts from
thousands of companies on BNET Industries (http://industry.bnet.com).
Additionally, Seeking Alpha, the premier financial website for actionable
stock market opinion and analysis, will provide links to BNET content
throughout its web site.
BNET, one of the fastest-growing business sites on the Internet,
launched its BNET Industries section in April 2008. BNET Industries
combines original reporting with business fundamentals on more than 9,000
public companies in eleven vertical industries. Now, with the addition of
earnings call transcripts from Seeking Alpha, BNET Industries offers an
even more comprehensive view into the industries and companies that matter
to business professionals. In addition, all transcripts on the Seeking
Alpha site will be co-branded by BNET, and a new exclusive sponsorship for
this opportunity is available.
"The information company leaders share during earnings calls offers
unique insight into the health of their business and their future plans,
much more than can be gleaned from financial information alone," said Greg
Mason, senior vice president and general manager of CBS Interactive's
business network. "These transcripts are a natural complement to our
extensive industry coverage, and we're excited to work with Seeking Alpha
in bringing them to BNET."
Seeking Alpha provides opinionated, interesting and useful content
about stocks, companies and industries from the best writers in the
financial world. Its Transcript Center
(http://seekingalpha.com/tag/transcripts) is unique as it is the only free,
online source providing quarterly earnings conference call transcripts from
more than 3,000 companies, including all of the Russell 3000 Index. The
center also includes full transcripts of corporate presentations. All
transcripts are fully searchable and available online within hours of the
actual call, making them invaluable to the financial community, the media
and individual investors.
"By combining Seeking Alpha's in-depth financial analysis with BNET's
comprehensive coverage of thousands of companies, we will be bringing
valuable and useful information to both the business and financial
communities," said David Jackson, CEO of Seeking Alpha. "We are excited
about the strategic nature of this partnership and look forward to growing
the relationship with the BNET team."
