InfoUSA is a great source for this type of information. Beyond zip codes and area, you could filter buy number of employees, years in business and even the type of Business based upon SIC codes. This is useful if you have built an application that targets a certain demographic, or client type. For example, lets say you built SALON software. You could use ...

That's actually a hard question to answer, because much of this isn't really tested in the courts -- and on top of that the national differences in laws make a truly international approach very hard. First up, the GPL version 2 (the license used by MySQL and many others). In the olden days the common interpretation of the GPL was that you were bound by it ...

Why'd you switch away from MSAccess? If "no coding" is a main goal, then that platform would have been very close to what you need. With all it's downsides, handling several thousand records for MSAccess it not a problem. You can still use MSAccess as a front-end to MySQL, though. You can link the databases (Through an ODBC MySql driver) and use Access ...

The wisest choice you can make early on is to get a good developer involved. Given good design, the actual platform is rather inconsequential (ie, people like to say "PHP doesn't scale", but no one told that to the Facebook people, Facebook currently runs on PHP). It hink every programming language/database has at least one major implementation out there ...

A few suggestions: Quickbase by Intuit (http://quickbase.intuit.com/). It's sold as SaaS, so there will be ongoing fees. I have not used it, but did a fair bit of research on it for a project earlier this year. Semi-custom software. There are frameworks available for building applications on top of databases. They're generally targeted to developers, ...

Both Google and Zoho -- both open source and free -- have a simple WYSIWYG drag-n-drop form creator which you can then publish and receive results in a linked spreadsheet. There are several web2email form management solutions on the market. Some that come to the top of mind are emailmeform, formsite, icebrrg, wufoo, and jotform. A little simple programming ...

The poor mans version is the Paypal Subscribe button, you can set the iteration, amounts, and it will send emails based on the transaction result. You can step it up a bit with services such as CheddarGetter.com, which give you a bit more control, and an api. If you have a merchant account, you can also use Authorize.net for subscriptions, that also works ...

There are a few like that: NYSE TAQ One Tick K DB Problem is this is costly and redistribution license would be even costlier.

I found this site: http://www.scrapingweb.com/legal-issues.html that lists some legal issues and the differences between the various uses for scraped material. I would cross reference this with the actual laws, if they exist, and make a judgement call based on how you are going to use the material and if the material is copyrighted. A word of caution, you ...

There are several online tools that allow for collaboration like this. We use Google Wave for what you're suggesting. It's easy to attach images, invite people, and look at things later. Use one Wave per meeting so it doesn't get too large. Lots of people use Basecamp for this sort of thing; same advantages as Wave although possibly easier for ...

After looking at a lot of questions about replacements for Access I compiled the following: http://www.zoho.com/creator http://www.lightspoke.com - claims you can do it in 15 minutes www.viravis.com quickbase.intuit.com www.ironspeed.com mytaskhelper.com www.longjump.com www.orangescape.com

What framework are you normally using to interface to your database? The specific framework and language will heavily influence how you go about this. If you're a developer yourself perhaps you can put this together (though, you probably wouldn't be asking this question then!). For example, if you were using Python, Perl or Ruby, it would probably be a very ...
