The SuperReaders, site-wide around scienceblogs.com, have been selected. I had considered a number of people (some contacted me, I contacted some), some said No, and after a long and hard deliberation (it was tough, I wish I could have chosen ten people or so) I chose my two SuperReaders and sent in the names. They have been green-lighted by the Overlords and contacted. Unfortunately, their identities will have to remain secret. But they will be the select few (OK, 70 blogs X 2 = 140 people) who will have the ability to form the new RSS feed as well as a special advisory focus group that can help improve the site etc. in the future.
