Mass High Tech launches new site, e-mail newsletters

By Mass High Tech Staff

Subscribers to Mass High Tech’s daily e-mail newsletter Tech Flash will notice some changes this morning — MHT has redesigned not just its daily e-mail news service, but its web site  and two new, industry-specific e-mail news products: the daily Finance Flash  and the daily BioFlash.

The new e-mail products will supplement the weekly publication’s Daily Tech Flash, an e-mail newsletter that is read by thousands of technology professionals in New England and beyond. BioFlash will go deeper into the news coverage that is important to professionals in biotech, pharma, medical devices, health care technology, laboratory research and all other life sciences businesses. Finance Flash will include daily news on all tech finance-related issues, from venture financings to IPOs, mergers and acquisitions to the comings and goings of tech finance professionals in New England.

The new web site features a new look, backed by technology that we are excited to offer as we strive to make our users’ experience more unique and engaging than ever. Along with the award-winning tech coverage that Mass High Tech readers have grown accustomed to, the new home page now offers an online photo gallery, video features that include news analysis from MHT staff and technology executives, easy-to-follow links to MHT signature programs such as All-Stars and Women to Watch, and commentary from leading technology professionals.

Masshightech.com also offers readers a look at a “featured technology company” pulled straight from our New England Tech Directory, which offers in-depth information on more than 8,000 technology companies throughout the region, as well as a “featured startup of the week” — which we call The Pitch.

Register yourself at the newly redesigned Masshightech.com today, and offer commentary on stories, manage your new subscriptions or contact the editors, and let us know what else you’d like to see.

“We have consistently delivered breaking news stories directly to print subscribers’ mailboxes each week — and have delivered breaking daily news stories to e-mail subscribers each day — for years now,” said Mass High Tech Editor Doug Banks. “We are excited to go deeper into specific industries and offer even more news to readers than ever before.”
