Yahoo re-organized their biotech news reporting a little while back. Turns out that in addition to their industry coverage at: biz.yahoo.com they still have the more general news feed at: biz.yahoo.com The latter includes some private company stuff. Peter

PubCrawler I have mentioned this once before, but I will do it again because it works so nicely. PubCrawler is one of many facilities to dig out information from PubMed. It might be described as a search agent that has been programmed to run specific searches on the PubMed database. The frequency may for example be daily or weekly. In the case of a "hit", i.e. a new article having been posted to PubMed's database, the program will generate an email, which will be sent to the user's mailbox. This email will contain the names of the authors, the title of the article and the name of the journal (or whatever) where the article has been published. In addition there is a link to the concerned abstract. This is evidently not a tool for ad-hoc searches but for subjects which one would like to have under constant supervision. I, for example, have standing searches on the names of the biotech companies I have in my portfolio and another search on the most important compounds these companies are trying to develop. So, within a day from when something new has been filed to PubMed, I will have an email in my mailbox with a link to the abstract. Very nice. Now if I only could make some sense out of all those abstracts. pubcrawler.ie Erik PS It is also possible to run these searches on-line.
