Biologging et. al. biologging.com biologging is a community website for biomedical researchers, which allows you to create your own annotated store of abstracts, and to browse the logs of other users. Biologging can be seen as a "depository" for interesting abstracts. It doesn't seem to have caught on, but there is some activity. I asked the webmaster if he would mind if persons with non-scientific background used this facility to "store" and structure interesting abstracts. And I just got the answer that he sees no problems with that. You're welcome to use biologging to store abstracts even if you're not a scientist - even by just grouping abstracts together in your blog you're helping other people sort through the mass of data, so it all helps. The more annotation you can add, the better. Of course, your blog on biologging will be public, so anyone can read it. It might be useful. Alf, the person behind the website seems to be very much into information technology and medical research. As far as I can see, he is also the person behind HubMed - an improved interface to PubMed. I think I have mentioned that in the past. pmbrowser.info A very useful site - especially if you are using the HubMed bookmarklet for your toolbar (Mozilla users). (It works in IE too). And he seems to be the person who has adapted TouchGraph to the Medline database resulting in the amazing PubMed Browser. A java-application which graphically sorts out the relations in the database. pmbrowser.info A tool for browsing 40 years of medical literature contained in the MEDLINE database, by exploring links between related articles. I am not sure it is useful, but no doubt it would be possible to spend days surfing through the PubMed archives. There is btw. a Google-browser too, if PubMed does not produce the desired results. And Amazon etc. Erik
