New Business Website PleaseBeInformed.Com favours content over networking

LONDON - April 1, 2016 - PRLog -- Vortex Centrum Limited, one of the pioneers of e-publishing since 1999, has today launched PleaseBeInformed.com a portmanteu suite of publications covering business and personal subject areas.

In the financial world, BankingInsuranceSecurities.com, launched in 2002 under another name, is now part of PleaseBeInformed.com. In the world of commerce, ChiefOfficers.Net, launched in 2006, is also part of the suite. In addition, FinancialCrimeRiskOfficers.Com, a new publication especially for those involved in combatting financial crime such as money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, bribery and corruption stands alongside the existing information service "WhiteCollarCrimeCaseStudies."

Operators of pop-up restaurants and food trucks can register their businesses and profile, post their locations, and build a following who can get e-mail updates and post comments.

PitchMyBook.com, the career development site for authors, has been totally updated and ported to PleaseBeInformed.com.

Of course, there is the lighter side of life with satire at conversazioni-fittizie.com, Dear Uncle Bert and Auntie Gert - an agony aunt page at dearunclebertandauntiegert.com - and a listicles section. KitchenSaviour.com is a new cooking tips and recipes publication.

On a more serious note, there is self-help at sothatshowitsdone.com and itstimetotakecareofyourself.com.

PleaseBeInformed.com has also incorporated GoodbyeOldFriend.com for in memoriam notices including a book of condolence.

Each section has its own directly accessible domain in addition to being accessible through the front page of PleaseBeInformed.com.

PleaseBeInformed.com is a subscription site with some free content.

Bryan Edwards, motorsport editor, said "We've been covering Formula One and Moto GP for a long time but at ChiefOfficers.net I never looked under the hood, so to speak, of our platform. Now I've been involved in the development of this new concept, it's amazing for me to see how the team at PBI have brought together something that, in its own way, is as complex in concept and management as a racing car with a team that is every bit as competitive and driven by excellence."

Author Jefferson Galt who writes occasional columns for various parts of PleaseBeInformed.Com said "PBI is a fascinating concept. The world has had social media which isn't media at all, it's just indiscriminate posting - or reposting - of material found somewhere else on the web or it's someone's diatribe or bombastic rants. We've had full-blown, proper media and we've had fake media that is really just republished press releases or scrapings from Twitter or Facebook. At PBI, we are above that:  we are interested in new, original, high quality content that does what it says on our tin: it informs. That's why we issue an open invitation to our members to submit pitches for articles. Proper writing needs proper sentences, properly used words, no ambiguity.. and reasoned argument needs more than 140 characters."

Nigel Morris-Cotterill, Head, The Anti Money Laundering Network, the ultimate owner of PleaseBeInformed.Com, said "PleaseBeInformed.com is a groundbreaking concept. We have looked at traditional and "new" media, hard copies and "web 2.0." We have identified the weaknesses in business models and in the user experience. And we have addressed them.

"We admit one big thing at the outset: we are quirky. We do not fit into any established mould. Every day we break another rule of web-publishing and create new paradigms that don't just develop the industry, they create shifts in the evolution of on-line society.

"We are not competing with the social media or newspaper giants: they have their models which work for them. Or don't. They are all racing for a single sweet spot in which social and traditional media meet and generate revenue.  That's fine. We know exactly where the gap is and today we've filled it.

"If you think you've seen disruptive before today, think again."
