LocalBusiness.com (www.localbusiness.com), the online local business news and destination site, released today its quarterly "50 to Watch" list of the 50 most newsworthy emerging private and public small-to-medium-cap companies in 23 markets nationwide, including Atlanta.
LocalBusiness.com generates 500 original news stories each week by a staff of more than 50 reporters and editors nationwide focusing on local breaking business news, including technology, venture capital and small business. Each quarter, LocalBusiness.com unveils its "50 to Watch" list that highlights companies that are newsmakers and are poised for change.

"The '50 to Watch' list represents a diverse selection of emerging companies that will be making news over the next three months. Some of these companies possess tremendous growth potential and some face significant challenges in this volatile market," said Kurt Greenbaum, Executive Editor of LocalBusiness.com.

Our readers depend on the comprehensive B2B breaking news coverage that only LocalBusiness.com provides in each market and the '50 to Watch' list highlights those companies that should definitely be watched in the next quarter."
