I just took a peek at what you have, and it looks very nice.  Are you planning
on selling advertising?

BioInfo will probably become a portal but more specific to bioinformatics.  We
are looking to add longer feature articles/editorials, Yahoo!-like links pages
(BioWho? or BioHoo!), and I think an events calendar would be nice too.

Let me know when you are ready to announce molbio.org and I'll post it on
BioInfo.


Cheers.
