clock | June 24, 2007I've been a little behind (as in 'few weeks') in adding the blogs I tagged in my Blogrolling for Today posts into the actual Blogroll but I caught up with that a few minutes ago. That Blogroll is a Monster! But, check it out anyway - at least check if your blog is there and if the link is correct. I don't know how useful it is to anyone, but having about a thousand blogs personally chosen and listed in one place is better than browsing tens of millions of blogs that are in existence out there.
Anyway, I am looking for a new newsfeed. Having this many blogs listed is tough on any newsfeed…

jstemwedel | June 15, 2007As you might guess, my site is one of the sources of content. If you're reading this post at New York Articles (or at "Articles", whose tagline is even more grammatically incorrect) rather than at my actual site, you are partaking of a suboptimal experience.
I'm not going to give you the URL for the lesser, because there is no value-added to speak of, unless you count the pennies that come in to the leech that grabs the RSS and sells the Google Ads.*
Does such a site do anything to improve an already crowded blogosphere? Does anyone treat a sloppy feed aggregating site of this sort as a…
clock | June 15, 2007You may have noticed a site called "New York Articles" (http://nyarticles.com/) which "aggregates" content from a bunch of different blogs, including this one as well as a number of other scienceblogs.com blogs. It copies and pastes everything that is in the RSS feed, i.e., everything that is above the fold. As you know, I only occasionally place stuff under the fold, and some people never do.
Sure, it does provide a link at the bottom, so in that way, it is a tiny little bit better than some sites that don't (you may recall this case - see Part I and Part II). But how much better? What…

jstemwedel | June 14, 2007To address an issue that came up in discussion of posts on other blogs, I want to make clear the principles I follow when dealing with real-world scenarios here or via email:
My overarching goal is to foster reflection and dialogue among people (particularly scientists) working out how to behave ethically.
Talking about different scenarios can provide good material to sharpen our ethical intuitions and to try to formulate courses of action that are both ethical and do-able (from the point of view, say, of not wrecking one's career).
I don't believe that scenarios lose their usefulness if…

clock | June 8, 2007On this day a year ago, A Blog Around The Clock was born. Twenty-something other bloggers moved to the Scienceblogs.com empire on that same day. My old blogs are still up there, gathering cyberdust, slowly losing Google traffic and rankings, because all of the action is right here. During this year, I posted 2941 posts (that is about 8.12 posts per day) and received 5233 legitimate comments. While my new job is likely to somewhat change the tone of the blog (more science, less politics, most likely), I have no intention of slowing down. I hope you are all still here for the second…

clock | June 2, 2007The ScienceBlogs server is getting upgraded tonight, from 9pm EDT until midnight. During that time, there will be no new posts on SB, nor can you post comments, but you can certainly read my blog (time to browse my ample archives, perhaps) or the blogs of my SciBlings. We'll be back and twice as good after midnight. Hopefully the upgrade will mean less crashes at times when two or three SB blogs get simultaneously hit by avalanches of visits from Digg, Reddit, Fark, Stumbleupon, Slashdot, DailyKos etc.
