Can you provide me with an overview of the content aggregator market
for business information which includes companies such as but not
limited to Factiva?

I am looking for an industry description with history, size, growth,
projections, key market trends, industry leaders and market share,
distribution channels, industry drivers, and links to key recent
events in the industry

Thanks for the start, Bobbie7.

I am not focused on selling online content to consumers.

I am interested in these players on the b2b side.  What are the major
trends driving the big players.  What is (are) the competitive
advantage(s)?  Are there any niche or emerging firms getting attention
in this space?

I work for a human based research firm that indirectly competes with
business information/content providers.

What can I learn for $25?  
Do I need to put in more?
What would help clarify my inquiry.
