More Tempe moves

The "tech oasis" in Tempe continues to gain momentum with the addition of two new dot-com companies, Riderworld.com and eShippers.com.

Both have leased space in the Barmeier Building, just west of Mill Avenue at 24 W. Fifth St.

Riderworld.com seeks to become the Internet's leading motorcycle-related site. The start-up plans to offer up-to-the-minute cycle news, listings of events, e-commerce and online auctions of cycles and related products.

Support-services firm eShippers.com, which moved to Tempe from Vancouver, B.C., Canada, is an online integrator of shipping, logistics and goods distribution, as well as e-commerce web-site hosting.
