To our readers:

I’m pleased to announce a new option from Small Times Media for those who need to stay current with small tech’s developments but don’t have time for the daily searching. Small Tech Advantage, now available at www.smalltechadvantage.com, is a daily paid news service that collects, analyzes and categorizes stories about nanotechnology, MEMS and microsystems from major news services around the world.

Small Times Media is the leading source of news about the fast-growing small tech industry but we’re hardly the only source. Small Times Media, in partnership with TEKgroup International Inc., searches newspapers, magazines, academic journals and specialized Web sites early each morning to bring Small Tech Advantage subscribers the latest news about small tech products, business developments, research and government programs and funding. We send our subscribers a daily e-mail news feed, which may be customized by industry, geography or even individual company.

If you’d like to learn more about the small tech industry but spend less time searching, please register for a free 5-day trial at www.smalltechadvantage.com. I think you’ll be pleased with our comprehensive daily news report.

In addition to the daily news feed, Small Tech Advantage subscribers also gain access to a password-protected news Web site, where they can conduct research, see additional stories and get pictorial views of what’s hot and where the small tech action is. Small Tech Advantage subscriptions are $395 for one year, with discounts available for group licenses.

We continue to offer full news coverage through our bimonthly magazine, Small Times; our daily Web site, smalltimes.com; and a weekly e-newsletter, Small Times Direct.

Thanks for reading Small Times. Please take a look at Small Tech Advantage and let me know what you think about it.
