Hi, Most of you will remember that at the end of 2007 we held two polls: one on textual layouts for the banner on the SIG website; the other on a new logo to...

Paul, What did you end up choosing? We own Wordmap (www.wordmap.com), which has been deployed at organizations handling as many as 600,000 terms in multiple...
