This chapter of the internet. Chemists and chemical information specialists now have a myriad of tools their disposal to communicate, share and collaborate. Online communication greatly increased in the with the rise of Usenet groups, widespread use of email and of the World Wide Web. The next decade marked the rise of blogs and other social networking tools associated enabling communication to an even greater degree. Wireless networks offer internet access without being tied to wired connections and desktop computers. Internet users have even more mobility through the use of smartphones and tablet computers, while publishers, companies and developers are creating "apps" and mobile-enabled websites to support chemists' information needs on these devices. While chemists still attend conferences to present their research and to network, people not attending can follow the conference as attendees using blogs and Twitter to report on the sessions, and even watch presentations as they are live-streamed.The principal list for chemical information is.

The first two science blog networks were Nature Network (now at nature.com and and Scientific American, Discover,The Guardian, National Geographic, Wired Science and Double Science are also homes to prominent science bloggers. There are also a number of science blogs outside of these networks, like Galileo's Pendulum, as well as science blogs that are part of broader news networks, like Bad Astronomy at Slate or The Science Consumer at Forbes.also includes to track independent bloggers; one of these, Research Blogging, tracks bloggers who write about peer-reviewed research.You could use a Web service such asoGroups to find or start a group that shares your interests.Thousands of news groups were developed to be read through Unix news readers.
