There is now a “mass spectrometry” tag at the del.icio.us “social bookmarks” site. Since a del.icio.us tag can only be a single word, the tag is “mass_spectrometry“. Using the del.icio.us site, anyone can tag a web page with any number of tags. The tags can be sorted in various ways and displayed as web pages …

Scientific Weblog Breakout?
Greg Tyrelle at Nodalpoint notes the rise of the academic science weblog. Notable outbound links are the Pharyngula science blog and a Village Voice article on academic weblogs in general.
Mass Spectrometry Newsfeeds
I installed a small program called “Zort” that uses the MagpieRSS newsfeed parser to turn newsfeeds into a web page. The mass spectrometry “Zort” page is here.

Blogging Mass Spectrometry
It has been a while since I checked, but Technorati is showing quite a few recent blog posts for mass spectrometry. I put in a few tags for mass spectrometry; we’ll see how long it takes for those to appear.
Google Scholar
Google searching for scientific articles, e.g. mass spectrometry. It returns a list of articles ranked by citation number. Direct links to PDF files are provided where available, but availability seems to include any web site that has a copy of the article archived (including many educational sites). Early users can enjoy the Napster-like freedom that …
myProteome.com
MyProteome.com is a new blog dedicated to proteomics.
Mass Spectrometry on Wikipedia
A Wiki is a collaborative authorship web document that anyone can edit. A Wikipedia is a combination of a Wiki and an encyclopedia. There is a Wikipedia entry for mass spectrometry with hyperlinks to related topics. Read and contribute.
SASHIMI
The goal of the SASHIMI Project is to provide “free open source software tools for the downstream analysis of mass spectrometric data.”
Web-accessible Proteome Databases for Microbial Research
An article in the May issue of Proteomics describes the Proteome Database System for Microbial Research at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology.
Open Access News
Open Access News is a weblog with new on open internet access to scientific literature.
BaRf: Bioinformatics aggregated RSS feeds
BaRf is Bioinformatics aggregated RSS feeds – a nice hack on PubMed that generates an aggerate newsfeed for selected biotech journals.
BlogStreet Visual Neighborhood
Blogstreet has a Java tool that lets you visualize blog hyperlinking neighborhoods. You get a graphical representation of a small piece of the “web.”
Open Source Software for Proteomics
“The Global Proteome Machine Organization was set up so that scientists involved in proteomics using tandem mass spectrometry could use that data to analyze proteomes. The projects supported by the GPMO have been selected to improve the quality of analysis, make the results portable and to provide a common platform for testing and validating proteomics …
Open Access to Scientific and Technical Information
I came across the background report for the Open Access to Scientific and Technical Information Conference when I was trying to figure out how much I liked the concept behind the Faculty of 1000 site. There is also a video of the webcast that has the discussion of this report (and other presentations). It’s good …

Terms and Definitions
I have finally embarked in earnest on the quest to unite ASMS and IUPAC to get the MS terms and definitions situation in order. It has been about a dozen years since there was a general agreement on MS terminology and there has been just a little bit of change in the field in the …
