On: Octopart launches Company Tools, allows part suppliers to easily upload data

I wish there was Octopart UK. Was trying to track down some nice Hall effect sensors to measure wheel speed on a robot I'm working on and bouncing around from vendor to vendor is a mess.

I actually use Octopart as a product catalogue and then find the things it finds in the UK.

We list parts from Premier Farnell which is in the UK and we'd like to get part data RS Components. Who else would you like to see? If you let distributors know that you'd like to see them on Octopart when you make purchases, that would help greatly.

Hmm. Didn't realize that you had Farnell. I guess if you have the and you could get RS Components that would be a pretty good start.

I totally agree. I'd love this kind of thing in the UK.
