Corante - Tech News. Filtered daily.
corante.com
Corante is offering a couple of services that sometimes are useful.
News Clippings
Every day they (or their robots) look through the National Press to find articles that might be of interest. Six are selected and presented at their website in blog format. I think they normally do relatively well with their picks. Quite a few of the articles are worth reading. The current crop contains the following:
- ImClone to reapply for drug approval - New York Times
- Millennium to trim 600 jobs - Boston Globe
- Biotech deals go sour - Reuters
- Activists target biotech wheat in Manitoba protest - Reuters
- Pitfalls abound in biotech stock rally - Reuters
- Biotech sector keeps surging - San Francisco Chronicle
It is possible to subscribe to the news clipping service. In that case they send a daily email with their highlights. The disadvantage with the email is that it also contains information from a number of other tech areas and the biotech section is at the bottom. Some scrolling required.
Weblog columns.
In addition to the news clippings there are also a number of personal blogs published at their site. Two of which are of biotech interest.
IN THE PIPELINE: drug discovery

LIVING CODE: biology & information

The blogs are available at the website, as an email or as an RSS-feed. I have switched to the RSS-feed, which I am quite satisfied with.

OUR NAME
We take our name - some inspiration too - from the enterprising British printer Nathaniel Butter. His Corante - which first hit the streets of London on September 24, 1621 - is widely considered to be the first English language newspaper. Corante 2.0 launched some 379 years later.
