Our newspaper clip of the week is Spiceworks, which the business section of the New York Times describes in an article entitled Reaching Tech Folks on Their Turf as “the hugely popular destination for corporate technology people — more than 600,000 information technology managers — to help one another with problems, and share their favorite products and services . . . Spiceworks started in 2006 in Austin, Texas, in response to complaints among IT professionals about the lack of a single application to manage their company networks and the hours they spent scanning Google for solutions to technology problems.”

“Spiceworks users have rated and reviewed more than 15,000 technology products and services and created more than 400 professional groups on technology and regional topics.”
