A rich site summary (RSS) feature has been added to the site. This consisted checking a few boxes at the Blogger site that ultimately generate an XML summary of the Web log posts. If you click on the link, you may wonder why reading something that looks like raw hypertext is a Good Thing. The real utility comes from syndicating the site material so that it can be used on other sites or aggregated with other news and information (an example of aggregated information can be seen at the left margin of this site under the “MS and Biotech News” – an automatically updated newsfeed from Moreover). If this still doesn’t stir you interest, imagine what it would be like if all scientific journal tables of contents were syndicated and a selected set of recent articles could be linked automatically from a Web site. For example, a proteomics Web site could link to a newsfeed of all the MALDI of glycoproteins papers published in the past month. No cut-and-paste links. No out of date pages. If the Web-logging community can do it, scientific journal publishers can as well.
Mass spectrometry websites, social media, journal feeds, and other links and items of interest to the mass spectrometry community.
