I think the most people around me know about Marquis Who's Who- one of the World best known database of the most important people. But I did not know about its existence till recently :)
Now I also know them, because they've sent me an invitation + a printed form, to submit my bio to their database for publication (for the Who’s Who in the World), in the case of successful verification and success/strong enough story. My first reaction was that I believed it's just another spamming attack, but after some research performed, I am now convinced it's a serious thing...
They do explain in the welcome letter, that their agents are constantly looking on the Web for extra-ordinary people to contact, and if the particular bio/story is really good and could be verified (through referrals, papers issued officially, other trusted sources)- to put those people to the Who is Who's Directory (there exist direcrory for America, World, Asia, and some professional categories).
I am impressed...I do not really believe that after further study they'll find my life so much attractive :=) to be published next to let's say Steve Job's success story of the recent years, or next to the other very important people I saw included in the previous release of their Directory...
However it's such a joy! and I want to ask from my readers if there is somebody experienced (succeed or not- is not important) with this Directory: could it be possible to ask the company why and where did they pick me up (since I have my Candidate-ID)? what facts from my life have attracted the professional extra-people hunters? Thank you for any comments!
