Tagline will transform the rating of studios in the industry media

Hi, Habr! After talking with Sergey Yakubovsky, the head of the project “Studios Rating”, I managed to find out a number of interesting details about the plans of the group, I think this is interesting:

Sergey said that after the end of the rating “TOP-100 of the leading web studios of Runet 2008” and the publication of its results, the project will be transformed into industry media.

Studios that have been pre-registered in the framework of the project will have the opportunity to publish on the resource their new works, news, materials. Also, on the basis of registered companies, a database of studio profiles with extended information will be created.

Recall that the pre-registration phase ends on March 14. At the moment, about 500 web studios have been registered.

The group plans to implement elements of B2B services within the project and allow potential customers to publish information about tenders, including filtering their visibility (for example, a tender available only to studios from the TOP-100, or only studios from a specific region).

News feeds from companies-players of the market will be supplemented with exclusive analytical materials from Tagline.

Sergey notes that despite the fact that lately there have been many online publications devoted to general IT topics (our favorite Habr, Telnews, RICN, Roem, etc.), narrow industry media in the market of website development is still critically low and the market is experiencing information hunger.

The task of the group is to form a transparent market for the development and promotion of sites and all possible assistance to its productive development and growth.

Sergey noted that the Tagline group expects that turning a resource into a full-fledged industry media will be able to fill informational gaps, draw the attention of the professional community to urgent problems, and also help to improve the situation on the market of website development in general.
