As this issue went to press, the avian influenza situation in Turkey was in a state of flux, with new reports and updates available on the web almost hourly. Of course, we have covered the story in our Disease Watch News section (pages 88–89), but for such fast developing stories it is difficult to provide timely coverage in a monthly journal, even with an accelerated Advance Online Publication schedule.
For such situations, the internet comes into its own. One useful resource that you might not be aware of is a new online bookmarking service called Connotea (http://www.connotea.org), which was developed by Nature Publishing Group and is available free online. Connotea allows you to compile a list of your bookmarks in an easily accessible format that you can access anywhere worldwide. As you can tag all your bookmarks with keywords, your online library is readily searchable. As a 'social bookmarking' service, the key feature of Connotea is that you can share your bookmarks with others.
