Consumers Union, the nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports magazine and ConsumerReports.org, one of the most successful subscription-based Web sites has a new division.

Through its Web site, ConsumerWebwatch.org, which is scheduled to go online Tuesday, the new group will create guidelines for good business practices by Web sites and will rate sites based on their adherence to those standards. {NYTimes article}
