DrugCiteon German government cancels Verizon contract in wake of U.S. spying row

I don't know if they can do that, but Verizon makes a ton on Government contracts so they might risk future contracts with that move.

DrugCiteon FDA launches openFDA to provide easy access to valuable FDA public data

Hey guys, I'm an owner of DrugCite.com, we've talked to the FDA a few times over the last few years while building our site (They contacted us at various points with questions). They let us know last August they would be releasing this site but I guess I never thought it would so close to ours. Examples: Our Drug Page: http://www.drugcite.com/?q=ABILIFY FDA Drug Page http://open.fda.gov/drug/event/

Looks like they're including some data we didn't previous have access to or know about. Anyways, make no mistake this is huge and will be incredibly useful for doctors and patients everywhere, this is some great data. This is the type of data that should be investigated before you take any medication, prescription or not. I can see some of this data becoming common label information shortly.

This... is ridiculous. I assume this is your site as per your username?
