Conduit offers Toolbar cut-up : select the Apps YOU want

Without having to install a single Conduit toolbar, you now can select the Apps (toolbar-items cut-up from excisting Toolbars or seperate Apps not belonging to any Toolbar) and construct you own "toolbar".
Starting place is the Conduit App Marketplace
Let's say for instance that I do not want the complete Webicina Toolbar, but just one or two parts.
I would search the App Marketplace for Webicina and See what parts are available as seperate Apps .
You would find 4 Apps:
NOTE: When going to apps.conduit.com you add the Apps to your browser, so you will only see the Apps that the browser with which you browse supports. Currently, the Beta version of the Chrome support of APPs only supports Gadgets. They are working on adding other APps (Menu Buttons, RSS readers and HTML Apps) for Chrome in the near future.

Just click the link of Medical Professionals and see what happens .

Confirm you want it: The app you're about to install requires Conduit Engine. Once you've installed Conduit Engine on your computer, you'll be able to instantly add apps from all over the Web with no additional installation. It will simply add one icon below your Bookmark toolbar with the functionality of that App. In case of the Webicina App you will get:-  direct link to Webicina Medical Professionals Section-  direct search in the search widget "Search PeRSSonalized" here -  direct link to all professional web 2.0 sections of Webicina-  step by step guides &-  Suggest a Site form 
   In the image you see the Webicina icon, plus a few relevant other Apps that can be found in the Conduit App Marketplace:-  PUBMED Search & Databases (from the Pubmed ToolbarFind Articles App by UConn Libraries All Top Search Engines in One Box
Free Ebooks Search 
Wikipedia Search 

  The Apps can be managed via Right-Mouse Click menu.
This way Apps (or Toolbar elements) can be selected and shared, giving the user more control over his/her browser (toolbar) space.

Updates from Journal Apps (BrowZine, docwise, ReadbyQxMD, Docphin)

Here a short overview of all new updates around the Journal apps we are supporting. Personally I am most excited about the anouncements of " docwise " making big steps to keep up with BrowZine & Read (Integration -"Open in"- with Dropbox, Evernote and more, save and email full text articles), but making a hug jump with unique features, like shareable Folders with docwise users ánd a RSS reader feature (boldly called Google Reader replacement!). Bring it on! BrowZine : just published the Android Version of their App to which the CMB UMCG now has a subscription. To be downloaded from Google Play Store or Amazon App Store the following publishers have been added  Project MUSE Cambridge University Press American Marketing Association Academy of Management Royal Society of Chemistry Institute of Physics American Physical Society Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) American Geophysical Union International Society for Optics a...

UPDATE:  Clarivate Analytics Acquires Research Startup Kopernio to Accelerate Pace of Scientific Innovation I am currently testing 4 browser extensions in Chrome that can help me find the PDF i need. They seem to be popping up like dandelions in the fields ;-) (Please read my post on ALL possible options to get to a PDF:  http://digicmb.blogspot.nl/2017/03/how-to-get-pdf-infographic.html ) Here is a first glance of what they do. For testing i used this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2016.10.008   (not free or open access) Kopernio (previously  Canary Haz ( http://kopernio.com) Note this is a .com extension. This  new company  has been founded just 8 months ago. The Kopernio  extension was released just in March 2017. Currently the Kopernio button is in alpha-testing and so far it seems free. The previous name appeared to be a tribute to the #ICANHAZPDF movement (requesting pdf's via Twitter with this hashtag). ...

Make RSS feed from any Facebook Page

You could ask why on earth do you want that....   Well, simply to insert the feed into a feed reader or make all posts/updates available in an "aggregator" like Rebelmouse.com.  With Rebelmouse you can create your own social media Frontpage (and blog) based on various social media accounts, searches AND RSS feeds. ( More on Rebelmouse and the power of curation  ) Say I want to add Facebook posts ánd images from the page Inuit Art Zone  into a Rebelmouse I made about Inuit Art . Rebelmouse offers to add My Pages via my facbook account, but other pages can only be entered via RSS. You only need TWO things :  the base url string for the RSS feed:  http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= the Facebook ID of the page: Find the Facebook (Page) ID Add the ID at the end of the url string and you have a complete working RSS feed! For   Inuit Art Zone  the RSS feed would be: http://www.facebook.com/fee...
