BUSINESS NOTES

Newport Beach-based SBN.com announced this week that it has entered into

a partnership with eCode.com, an Internet company that developed a

“portable portal” link to the Internet.

The agreement calls for SBN.com’s Online Yellow Pages to be included in

eCode.com’s “iBar” portal.

Placing the yellow pages on the portal “is a natural choice for

fulfilling the company’s mission of broad and easy Internet access,” said

Rohit Chandra, founder of eCode.com.

SBN.com’s yellow pages provide access to more than 50 million businesses,

making it the world’s largest classified directory.

The two companies will share advertising revenue generated by the

directory through the iBar.
