The VirtualCorp BOB Award Homepage


" The earth does not belong to man. Man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." -- Chief Seattle



The VirtualCorp Best of Business or "BOB" Award celebrates excellence in small business and small business resource sites on the World Wide Web.

Here we will honor sites that (in our humble opinion) give you infomation or offer unique products or services in a way that adds definite value or "coolness" to the online small business community. We hope that you will be informed, entertained, and inspired by the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of all of the BOB Award recipients.

We invite you to nominate your favorite site for consideration. Look for the VirtualCorp BOB Award as you navigate the net.
