I was impressed when it located the tiny company I current work for (The Day News & Media) but less impressed that it couldn't find the enormous multinational I used to work for (John Wiley & Sons). Where does it source the data from?

Yes, where does this data come from? Somehow I was able to find not-so-popular companies as well.
Glad to hear it! We are using the dozens of sources that power our other APIs. That's the special sauce. :)
Maybe twitter?
Ah, looks like we have John Wiley & Sons listed as Wiley, which seems to be how they are typically known. Aliases would be an interesting feature though!
I find it ? wiley.com is in it.
