    Wow, paying people to give away their add book is really really evil.

    This is terrible news.

    I think this is great! Do you know how hard it is to find the right person at a company?

    Great comparison of the pros & cons of two great data sources with two very different user-generated content (UGC) models.

    Especially in the case of Jigsaw vs. LinkedIn, I would say the answer is BOTH! LinkedIn has no out-of-pocket costs (only cost is time, which you shouldn't dismiss) so it should definitely supplement your prospecting & research efforts. As for Jigsaw, it is hands-down the best source for contact details (email and direct phone.) Which is why we partner with them.

    So why choose? I would say, you don't have to... you can have BOTH. Our whole approach is to aggregate all of the best-in-class business & contact data sources rather than having to evaluate all of all these data sources for yourself and then tough decisions based on their strengths & weaknesses (and your budget.) We also think that those of you using CRM shouldn't have to ever leave CRM just to find company info and contact details -- we deliver all of the information directly into your Accounts, Leads, Contacts, and Opportunities.

    You guys deal in data every day so I'd be very interested in your feedback. I noticed ActiveContacts listed above which I wasn't previously aware of. What other data sources do you or your clients regularly use?
