[Developers] Great site for company information

[Alec Flett]

Hey I was poking around and found this rather useful site:

http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/

More specifically, a whole bunch of "Company history" essays which  
describe the history (founding, aquisitions, brands, etc) of many  
companies, organized by category of company (Food, Hotels, Insurance,  
etc)
http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/history/

I found lots of stuff here that I didn't find in Wikipedia or on  
company pages (like that Weetabix acquired Barbara's Bakery in 1986: http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/history2/28/Weetabix-Limited.html)

It only has some 600 companies, but if you're wanting to unearth the  
history of your favorite conglomerate, it's pretty good: http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/history2/68/ConAgra-Foods-Inc.html
