Pretty much anywhere you can get it, google and competition would be good starts (competition could be a good idea of a market depending on their success).

I'm developing a product targeted at a similar market as LinkedIn, but directed at portfolios. I've been told that it's something very difficult to build a business model on but i still believe in the idea and i'm looking ways to research it. In this case i could data mine LinkedIn for example then.
Are you aware of any reading material about it and guidelines to define pricing and etc?
