Dear Chemweb,
Thanks to Henry, I'm getting interested in the applications of RSS in
chemistry. It is sad that the chemistry societies don't make use of this
technology. Therefore I decided to try and "scrape" the content alert
emails that I get from ACS and convert them to RSS. It's still a proof
of concept, but you can find them at http://ivan.tubert.org/rss/ .
I know scraping is never a permanent solution, but sometimes it is
surprising how fast a vendor decides to provide a service when they see
how people are willing to go around them and do it on their own.
At least it will be useful for me, because I'll be able to aggregate it
with other sources of interest. If you think it's useful feel free to
use it. I may add more journals later.
Best regards,
Ivan
