When you say IT sector, what part of it specifically are you interested in? Is the plan for an IT service or product? Is it targeted at a specific vertical market or of general application. There is a vast number of different sources available but all are good for only specific segments or application types. Happy to help if you can provide more detail.

In order to help you learn about marketing on the world wide web, I’ve prepared a couple of special NO OBLIGATION automated email messages or autoresponders as they’re called. All you have to do is send a blank email message to each of these email addresses and you’ll receive the following information ABSOLUTELY FREE. [Autoresponder info deleted by moderator] [Moderator's Note: Sounds like a "sales" speak, especially by your use of capital letters. (1) The original author seeks information for the analysis part of his "IT business plan" He did not mention "seeking" information on marketing on the WWW which would be part of your Internet marketing consulting. (2) Your autoresponder info may be helpful but they include a sales pitch and offer. Just last week, you replied and I allowed your pointer to the summary on your site. If you are looking to generate business from this newsgroup, I suggest you reply with substance, rather than seeing the opportunity to get people to visit your site or opportunity to make known your autoresponders. After all, an autoresponder is a I-marketing tool for generating business. Very few give useful information without a sales pitch. -JG aka m.b.m.m. boogeyman] Regards, Michael Campbell Advisor to the University of British Columbia for certificate courses in Internet marketing. http://www.dynamicmedia.com
