Today we have added yet another new category (one of many more to come) to the WebProNews eBusiness Directory.

The new category Copywriting Services is actually a sub-category of the Content category.

The category includes listings of freelancers and agencies that provide copywriting services of all kinds – for search engine optimization purposes, for advertisements, for email newsletters, etc.

Because copywriting services meet such different needs, the category can also be found under the Marketing, Advertising, and Search categories.

If you provide copywriting services yourself and are not yet listed, please submit your site to the category. Even if copywriting is only part of what you do, you can submit the specific copywriting section of your site to the directory under this category.

Other recently added categories include:

- General News Sites

- News Aggregation and Search Sites

- Open Source

- Translation Services

- Online Classifieds

I was browsing through our News category, and while we have a lot of different sub-categories in there pertaining to different aspects of eBusiness, it occurred to me, that we should have just a general news category.

We had financial news, advertising news, technology news, search news, etc, but we were missing one category for just plain old news site that cover a wide variety of categories.  Sites like CNN, NewsWeek, CBS, NBC, ABC,  FOX News, etc.

So now not only can you find a recently added category for News Aggregation and Search Sites, but you can also find one for General News Sites.

It’s good to have as many news resources as possible because you never know who’s going to break the next big story.

If you’ve got one that you want added, please submit it.

A new category has been added to the WebProNews eBusiness Directory. This one is for news aggregation and news search sites. This includes sites like Google News, Yahoo News, Topix, and our own WebProWire (which was recently relaunched with an updated look and feel).

This category can be found as a sub-category of the News category and a sub-category of Search Engines which is a sub-category of Search.  So browse the new category, and if you have a site that belongs here, please submit it.  If you don’t have such a site, but know of one that isn’t listed,  you can also submit it or leave a comment and tell us about it via the comments on this blog post or our contact form.  We’d greatly appreciate it, and so should the end-user.

Just as a little re-cap, we have added several categories to the directory since its initial launch, so in case you have missed out we have added the following categories:

- News Aggregation and Search Sites

- Open Source

- Translation Services

- Online Classifieds

Don’t worry, there will be plenty more categories added in the future, so if you feel the one for you is still missing, but truly belongs in the eBusiness Directory, be patient. It may already be in the cards. You are more than welcome to suggest a category to us as well, again either in the comments on this post or via our contact form.

Everything seems to be back in order with the maintenance of the eBusiness Directory. We had a bit of a rocky morning yesterday with server issues, but it’s all in check now, and the approval process has moved forward.

I would like to take this opportunity to point you to another kind of directory (also from WebProNews).  This one is called Twellow, and it is specifically for indexing Twitter users.

It’s not just a directory. It’s a tool that many Twitter users will find very useful. It’s been getting good reviews.  One in particular, from Mashable had this to say about it:

So far, my Twitter experience has mostly revolved around adding friends and interesting people I come across on blogs, or simply re-following those that follow me. Twellow allows you to be proactive about finding new and interesting people to follow, and does a great job of presenting the results.

That basically sums up the usefulness of Twellow. There are a great deal of categories to browse or search to help you as a Twitter user find new people of interest to follow.

Many are seeing it as a feature that Twitter should’ve implemented themselves.

Twellow is still in alpha, and there is sure to be updates to it to improve usability, though many are already finding it quite usable.  If you have suggestions for it, feel free to leave feedback.
