This is a nice summary.

Just a few additions:

Google Spreadsheets is pretty slick too.

For people who prefer the "portal page" approach to plain RSS, Google personalized page can be useful to create a "customized journal" which combines the RSS feeds of the major journals, as described here:

Enoch,

That's a valid point. I don't use the "search across computers" feature and the index is encrypted, so I don't feel Google Desktop represents a significant additional security risk. However, I'm open to arguments against using it.

More additions:

* Pandora
* Skyscape software (for Palm, PPC or Desktop PC)
* iSilo (for Palm, PPC or Desktop PC)
* MDConsult
* Gateway Ovid
* Sandford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy (for Palm or PPC)
* Johns Hopkins ABX guide (for Palm)

By the way, all kind of patient information y have in my hard drive are saved as encrypted documents and I have configured Google Desktop to not index those files.
