We are happy to announce that after months of hard work, thousands of hours of dedicated effort by our editors and tens of thousands of contributions of business details from both company owners and the general public, the full set of business categories is now live on Bizwiki.com.

This is a real mile-stone in the progress of this project, meaning that the site has moved out of Beta into its fully live version. There are now over 5,000 categories of business on Bizwiki.com, divided into vertical groups of similar categories to make navigating and searching the site easy.

We expect to make further improvements over the months ahead, particularly as some of these categories are fleshed out with additional companies and details, but in the meantime we’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has added records or edited and improved the information on Bizwiki. It is greatly appreciated.

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

Watch this space in 2010!
