Situation: You need to get some background on someone...

Since the dawn of time salespeople have used Hoovers as a way to uncover contact info for people they need to sell to. You might have found yourself on the receiving end of this phenomena. Now there's
CogMap, a new type of wiki that helps you find information on people and how they fit into organizations.
As a PM, this can come in handy for:
- Interviewing prospective employees. It can help you see what positions they have held and ask questions about specific relationships and people they worked with.
- Seeing where business partners and vendors fit into their organizations. If you want a better deal from a vendor, why not contact their superior?
