OT: Mendeley

[John Spray]

Dear all,

I've recently become aware of a London startup developing a product with
some features in common with Referencer.  I'd encourage anybody interested
to check it out at http://www.mendeley.com

Further, they're currently hiring, which I thought was worth publicising
here in case any of you are interested: see below.

Cheers,
John
