Hive Business Center: Recognition, Feedback, Mentoring and Employment.

Recognition: provide an alphabetical list of businesses on Hive.
Feedback: provide forum and infrastructure for customers to talk to owner operators.
Mentoring; other business owners can provide tips to others owners to help grow their business.
Employment; offer your skills; business owners need people with skills, so if you think you have skills a business needs contact them here or through their links.

Details on the list of businesses.

The goal of course would be an unbiased, decentralized listing of projects here.
Admittantly centralized initally, in that one or more persons from a small group would be responsible for it.
But decentralized in intent, as no restrictions beyond the basic ones embraced by the Hive community whitepaper would be employed.
But I think this form of centralization can be overcome by technology which allows users to input company names, and retrospective pruning of spam names can be done by humans or technology.
The arrangement of the list would be some basic organization on purpose to remove judgement; such as the list would simply be alphabetized.
I thought briefly about listing by age, as that would be simpler; as I would add things as they requested a listing. But that would make navigating the index a nightmare over time.
I think the alphabetized version would be the most efficient, as a search tool.

I think the true value of Hive is the accumulated knowledge of the community.
So a community where business could be mentored would allow this accumulative knowledge to be shared.

I will seek out businesses and post them here and add them to the list, which will be pinned here.
