What is the best way to find foreign companies to establish relations with?

I have searched through yellow pages and i feel the best solution is probably online. I have tried a couple of trade sites like ec21, but have not gotten the best responses. Any help or suggestions?

Alibaba is the biggest company for this kind of thing, but I haven't had the greatest experiences with it.

You could try Globial, they're launching this month. It's basically like a facebook for businesses to find each other. I've been in conversations with them on facebook and twitter and they're planning on having a lot of different features like questions and answers, uploading all your pics, commenting on stuff, and following people. If it's as easy as facebook, it should be a pretty cool thing to use. I think you can sign up to be notified of their launch at globial.com
