The BevNET.com Company Directory, which has listings for almost 2,000 companies that service the industry (including suppliers, services, legal, investors, and distributors), has been given a makeover. While we've added some new features to help increase visibility for the companies that are listed (such as links to their presences on Twitter and Facebook), the biggest change is the addition of user reviews. Our goal is to create a place where industry professionals can go to learn what kinds of experiences, both good and bad, their peers have had with the countless vendors that are in this space. That said, we highly encourage you to find your company's listing and make sure that the information is current -- and we hope that you'll ask your customers to write a review on your company's page.
