Eliyon’s CorporateAlumni is an interesting data mining exercise: scan all the press releases and other corporate communications on the web, and build a database of who has worked where. It’s a concrete example of how hard it must be to get data this way: My entry seems to list me as currently working for either NotesPeek or NOTES.INI setting. Also, it seems there used to be a guy at Lotus named Lotus SmartSuite.

And was Nikita Khrushchev really a founder of Lotus Cars? I did not know that.
