BNET, Seeking Alpha strike deal to share content

Kira Bindrim of Crain’s New York Business reports Wednesday that business news and information sites BNET and Seeking Alpha have reached an agreement where they will swap content.

Bindrim writes, “Under the agreement, Seeking Alpha content, including excerpts from transcripts, will appear on BNET, and BNET news content will be linked on the Seeking Alpha site.
