<a href="www.synbioworld.org">Synbioworld</a> is a collaborative web platform created to give the synthetic biology community a place to talk, share data and resources, and stay abreast of new developments in the ﬁeld. The site is based on a CMS system that allows for all the normal features of a blog, but also allows for seamless user management in the various apps we have on the site. Once a user is logged in to their Synbioworld account, they will be able to access all of the following features:
• News: SynBioWorld will agregate several Twitter and RSS feeds related to synthetic biology. Original content will also be created by the team and members of the community.

• Librarian: Libriarian is an algorithm and UI frame that automatically aggregates, displays and allows to search through papers, scientists, and institutions relevant to synthetic biology.

• Forum: This feature will ﬁnally answer the repeated request of members of the community, in particular iGEM participants. It will be moderated by volunteers from the community (over 50 people have already expressed interest in helping out.)
• Events: All events relevant to the synthetic biology community will be announced on the site. Furthermore, we are working on a partnership with the new talk aggregation site SittingO, which has been described as the “imdb of the conference circuit” to provide a huge annotated database of synthetic biology talks.

- and - as contribution of this year's from our team...:

• openProtocol: openProtocol is a protocol standardization tool that allows the quick form-based creation of well laid-out protocols which can include all kinds of media, be annotated, rated and easily shared. A catalogue of reviewed and well categorized protocols will enable users to quickly ﬁnd what ther are looking for. We aim at partnering with publishing groups so that openProtocols can be directly linked to/from peer-reviewed articles.
