DeepDyve announced by email that it has "A new look and feel' and that it is now free for anyone to use. DeepDyve searches specialty databases in a "deep web" way mainly in the fields of science, engineering and some business.

By clicking on the "Details" button from any search result, you can now read an Abstract of every document as well as see the best matching portion of text from the document
You can now Share your results to email, Digg, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and other channels.
And, we've removed the registration and login requirement and are now in "open" Beta""
