Intelligent internet algorithms, better known as "internet spiders," are program written such that when they execute, they search the Web and extract clearly defined information from specific sources. What does this mean in understandable terms?
First of all, it means that the programmer can tell the internet spider what sites that it would liked searched. In the context of biotech e-marketing, the most useful sites to search are large databases of research publications, such as PubMed, Highwire Press, and Goolge Scholar. Secondarily, it means that the programmer can specify exactly what the spider is searching for within these sites. When exploring large research publication databases like the ones just cited, most useful information for a spider to extract is arguably contact information for researchers of interest, including their email addresses and when available, their addresses and phone numbers as well.
The power of internet spiders to streamline internet search is revolutionizing biotech marketing. Moving forward, companies that understand these internet novel programs and the benefits that they offer are going to have a critical edge over their less technology-savvy competition.
