FORBES

Lots to mention! The recently published 2002 China Rich List and 200 Best Small Companies are a reminder to check the other "best" lists: 400 Best Big Companies, 500 Largest Privates, 400 Richest Americans, Big Bosses & Big Pay Checks, Top Earning Dead Celebrities and more.

Register free for one of my favorite features, the People Tracker (reviewed in the past), "where you decide who matters." Track over 120,000 executives and members of Forbes' rich and celebrity lists.

On the People Tracker page, you can customize free e-mail alerts: receive updates on titles, compensation changes, options exercised or breaking news. If you sign up for the e-mail alerts, be selective -- it's easy to overdo it. Mergers and Acquisitions, Billionaires, and CEOs are some of the choices.

You also can research public companies and executives using Forbes' up-to-date people and company "tear sheets."
