\u201cGreat sites have little sites upon their back to bite \u2018em

So what happened was, Carole Goble<\/a> asked on the myExperiment<\/a> mailing list, \u201cis there a list of scientist social networking sites\u201d? Here is first attempt at such a list (not<\/strong> comprehensive), you\u2019ll have to decide for yourself which are the great, greater, little and lesser sites.<\/p>\n

For simplicity, I\u2019ll break social software down into social networking, data sharing, blogging, ranking and video. These categories aren\u2019t exclusive, as some sites do more than one of these tasks, but they help to classify the wild wild web of social software.
\n[More<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The sites listed here are some very useful ones to get started with scientific Web 2.0 sites. Although ‘out in the wild’, they are where the cutting edge of Open Science is taking place. Thus, they are useful touchstones for the latest innovations.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not all really solve an urgent problem but that is the nature of Web 2.0. Start with something simple and move towards perfection. Along the way, urgent problems may get solved.
