A GREAT TOOL TO FIND DRUG NEWS

The DrugSense newsbot makes it easier to not miss important articles, and
to share them with your fellow activists at DrugSense.

The newsbot is at: http://drugpolicycentral.com/bot/

If you don't know about this site already, please take a look. It sees
about 400 drug-related articles a day. New drug related articles appear
every 15 minutes or so. It uses news sites like Google news for input, so,
for example, it sees all the cannabis-related articles Google news sees,
plus much more. No other site brings you the latest raw breaking drug news
faster than this site.

The newsbot is made to help newshawks who find articles for
MAPInc/DrugSense ( for more about information about newshawks, what they
do, and how you can be one too, see http://www.mapinc.org/hawk.htm ). The
newsbot has features just for newshawks, like flagging articles that appear
to have already been hawked.

Another newshawk feature greatly speeds up the article cut/paste/re-format
process. If you register, then you can use the "one-click" feature to
dramatically cut the steps you need to take when you hawk an item. One
click, and the article is placed in a mail window, ready to send to
editor@mapinc.org (and copied to your email address, if you like).

Registered users can also set up interest profiles and have articles URLs
mailed back to them hourly or daily.

Did I mention that the site will output everything as RSS newsfeeds, too?
(This lets you get breaking drug news in your favorite news reader, and on
hand-helds, cell-phones, etc.)

This tool helps us not miss drug-related articles that might otherwise get
by us. Please take a look at this Mapinc/Drugsense tool and tell us what
you think of it!
