Thomson (TechStreet ) partners with PartMiner

"Andrew Bank, Director of Business Development at Thomson Scientific said that “PartMiner and Techstreet share a common goal of delivering mission-critical technical information using the most intuitive, convenient and expedient methods. We are confident that this partnership will produce significant benefits for customers of industry standards and component data.” via Webwire

This move makes sense for Thomson, once they are in standards business why not move in into component data...

It's kind of funny that Partminer guys are in our building....(oops that's partsearch, not partminer)
