Chunky chemistry?

Chunking is the practice of selling individual book chapters. IPFinance notes: More conventionally, at least in a "chunking" sense, are the efforts of McGraw Hill to sell single chapters of technical titles in the chemistry area. Even more augustly, Harvard Business Publishing is offering via Amazon single chapters of 120 of its titles, each at the amount of $6.95. IPBiz suggests the American Chemical Society get in on this action.

One also has mashing. For example:

Why not mash them [PubChem and Wikipedia] up?

To explore that question my company, Metamolecular, LLC has launched Chempedia.

I'm just checking in on your comment re. Metamolecular being your company? I thought that was Rich Apodaca's?

Also, we've mashed up WIkipedia and over 150 other data sources at ww.chemspider.com
