The magic tab for Wall Street has information about stock exchanges all over the world. The Ad Browser is almost impossible to access, and the few times I got in, it wasn't worth it. It seems as though the Company Profiles section is the most complete, and typical of Internet business sites, the computer and communications market areas are more fully developed than other industries. As befits its ambitious efforts and excellent beginning, Access Business Online has become one of the highest traffic areas on the Net-rendering it almost inaccessible. The home page itself is both large and graphics-intensive, so it can take a long time to load.
Orientation is difficult, since the grid is too large to fit on one screen.
Clicking on yellow dots takes you to secondary grids within the main grid, and it's easy to lose track of where you are. Links to other sources sometimes don't get through, and, occasionally when they do, the content is irrelevant or seems peculiar. Typical of the beta test phase, too, there are frequent invitations to share your opinions with the developers. Generally, the quality of the content is adequate or better, and it's copious and timely. Even in its current state, Access Business Online can be useful to build or to supplement company and industry reports.
