Description:

Jigsaw is an online directory of millions of business contacts from over one million companies worldwide. Each contact provides complete information, including title, company, email address, and business phone (70% direct dial). And because Jigsaw members earn bonus points for keeping their contacts current, you know you're getting highly accurate data.

Benifits:

   * Using this information, you can bypass the main company voice mail and directly contact hard-to-find and hidden candidates
   * With a nearly endless database of accurate contact information at your fingertips, you can make more connections in less time
   * Jigsaw now integrates with LinkedIn, allowing you to cross-reference a candidate's experience in seconds

How?

Jigsaw is a points based system where members earn points for the contributions to the database that they make. They then use those points to acquire data that they need... The more data you contribute, the more points, or credits, you earn. You also get points when you update incorrect contacts. If members add bad data, they lose points. And if you ever buy a bad contact, you can challenge that contact and get those points back.

Data Independence Day--June 4, 2008

On June 4, 2008 Jigsaw announced the Open Data Initiative and declared Data Independence Day. This bold move meant that now anyone could download company data for over 1.5 million companies for free. Previously, people had to search the Web for one off data or subscribe to expensive data services. To promote this "Next Revolution" in the data industry Jigsaw founders launched a YouTube video dressed in revolutionary costume and took to Haight Street in San Francisco to tell the world.
