When I worked at ChemConnect, it was a business-to-business eCommerce trading site. Its primary focus was the trade of bulk chemicals between buyers and sellers via Java based web applications. It also offered a vertical Chemical News Portal (MyChemConnect) for its members, based on the Yahoo News portal paradigm.

Subsequently, the etrading floors have been sold off and the company now appears to be involved in supply chain management.
