Do you want to be a Sb Super Reader?

We're starting a new program here at Sb where specially-selected readers have the ability to pick out the best of what's appearing in the whole of the community. It works like this; I get to pick two readers who then get the ability to tag three posts per week that will go into an RSS feed that will appear on the Sb frontpage (According to the information I was sent, "All of this will be run using a shared del.icio.us account, where you install bookmarking buttons in your browser that make tagging posts quite simple. Should you accept, we'll send you detailed instructions later on how to set that up.").

The new program is essentially a way for regular readers to pick out the best of what's going on and bring attention to great posts that might otherwise be overlooked, and other Sb Super Reader abilities may be opened up as the project moves along. I have a few people in mind, but I don't want to pick anyone who isn't interested. If you'd like to be a Super Reader, send me an e-mail or let me know in the comments.

ScienceBlogs is launching a new "Super Reader" program, where each blogger can nominate two readers as "Super Readers" who will be given the ability to tag three posts a week from all of ScienceBlogs for a special RSS feed (this will be done using del.icio.us).
There was a lot of talk on the ScienceBlogs back channel last week about Mike Dunford's post on President Bush's wrangling with Congress over funding the Iraq war.

I wouldn't mind, I guess, although for some reason, I have a song running through my head right now: "You're so vain / you think this post is about you. . . ."
