Some of the analyses are of very low quality, or simply wrong (mainly from the company that set up this wiki). Nevertheless some consensus appears to emerge, as more experts join in.
- Pawel Szczesny
Well, fork off then! :)
- Egon Willighagen
The analyses are in the wiki? GitHub Wikis can be forked, though only through Git itself.

Very very pleased to see us launch our API - for accessing all PLoS journals content - http://api.plos.org/ Go build something!

Checking out the examples now, interesting to see use of Javascript http://api.plos.org/examples/

Cool, Pete - and thanks for leading the crowd once more.

Well, not quite (some others beat us to it, including Springer, Elsevier, Mendeley) but we have been wanting to do this for ages. Plus ours is on the full text and fully open.
- Peter Binfield
I meant the "full text and fully open" part.
- Daniel Mietchen
The Elsiver API one seems discontinued? (http://www.programmableweb.com/api...) Looks like Scopus has an API. others?
- Carl Boettiger
Lindenbaum tools for NCBI Pubmed? http://friendfeed.com/yokofak...
- joergkurtwegner
Speaking of PubMed, one of its major limitations is that it does not provide full-text search. PLoS and Mendeley do. So I think it would be useful to have a little app (e.g. a browser plugin) that takes a PubMed search, passes it on to the PLoS/ Mendeley search engines and displays the results in the context of the original PubMed search. Anyone interested in that (e.g. as a warm-up for http://ff.im/FIwlT )?
- Daniel Mietchen
That's a neat idea, Daniel.
- Mr. Gunn
Couple of updates for any of you entering the competition. Nephoscale are offering 10 free cloud servers for entrants using PLoS APIs see: http://blogs.plos.org/plos... And today we upgraded search to also include "search within figure caption" so now you can do cool things with our figures too.
- Peter Binfield
Just so you know: I always get in the last word. So there.

""Everybody is out of their minds," said Lt. Terry Colson (David Morse) in last night's second-season premiere of "Treme." That's not a bad way to sum up David Simon's gumbo-pot drama -- and it's less an apology than a simple observation. In the run up to the HBO series' 2010 premiere, much of the coverage focused on how "Treme" was similar to or different from Simon's previous show, "The Wire." But the biggest difference didn't really snap into focus until the final stretch of season one: "Treme" might be the first major American TV series that's mainly about how trauma messes with people's heads, and how hard it is to recover from it."

- Egon Willighagen
What Egon mean was that it was a disrespect to online science in general, not just bloggers. The tweet above was my verison edited for space. Egon, have you considered, maybe, perhaps, shortening your twitter handle by about 10 characters? ;-)
- Mr. Gunn
Yeah, I have thought of that :) my 'normal' egonw was already taken :(

But just to make clear... a blog post would be a Link/URL ... so no blogger author name...
- Egon Willighagen
Yes, that's a problem for metadata/semantic web to solve, right?
- Mr. Gunn
These guidelines look outdated as opposed to intentionally noninclusive. Their example of a link citation (The Mouse Tumor Biology Database [http://tumor.informatics.jax.org/mtbwi...]) points to an entire website. In the old days a team might be responsible for a website without clear authorship of a single part. Today however there are often clearly marked authors for individual...

- Mike Chelen
I'm fairly sure that if you were to cite as follows -- Willighagen, E. Handbook of Chemoinformatics Algorithms [http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/2010...] -- it would be perfectly acceptable. But the larger point is well taken, that there should be clearer guidelines on citing web resources, including blogs (imo, the WebCite service and format (http://www.webcitation.org/) should always be used). I'll pass this thread on to folks at BMC.
- Bill Hooker
Yeah, need to do that too... the least it does is cause a lot of confusion with reviewers and editors... I have been asked to remove author names for such uses...
- Egon Willighagen
Response from Iain Hrynaszkiewicz -- (1) the guidelines aren't meant to indicate that you cannot include names in citing web resources, just that you don't have to cite a name if there isn't a relevant one to go with the resouce in question; and (2) the instructions will be reviewed to avoid further confusion and meet changing needs of authors online
- Bill Hooker
Hi all. BioMed Central author guidelines now explicitly encourage blog authors to be named e.g. http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcresn... "Link / URL with author(s) 14. Neylon, C: Open Research Computation: an ordinary journal with extraordinary aims. [http://blogs.openaccesscentral.com/blogs...]"
- Iain Hz
Nice update, thanks for letting us all know! Now authors and blog publishers should work on providing an immutable reference for web pages, such as DOI or URI.
- Mike Chelen
agree, Mike (including FF discussions...)
- Claudia Koltzenburg
I checked out Webcite after Bill's recommendation, since an author contacted me about referring to one of my blog posts in a paper they're writing. Unfortunately, the post contains an embedded Google spreadsheet, which can't be archived. The link to the spreadsheet would still be there I suppose but, all in all, it's pretty ugly. But more useful than just putting the link in the bibliography? Any other options? The Webcite link: http://www.webcitation.org/5yJhkFu...

It should be possible to export the Google Spreadsheet to file, and upload it as long as attachments are allowed.

True, but my point is that they may be guilty of more than just breaking anti-gambling laws. And I don't think anyone can dispute that casinos in general--whether online or brick-and-mortar--can quite easily facilitate either of those offenses.

Victor, but how often is it the casino intentionally laundering, to continue doing business.

True, the gambling industry in the state of Nevada is regulated up the wazoo to prevent laundering and bank fraud. But I suspect the reason why people went to the Internet in the first place was because they didn't want to be regulated.
- Victor Ganata
Casinos are still very profitable, even when operating legally and paying taxes. If the decision is between constant threat of shutdown or paying some fees, most businesses would choose to keep operating if they can.
- Mike Chelen
Internet gambling -- now legal in the District, in addition to Nevada.
- Julian
It isn't just the taxes, there are all sorts of regulations and procedures that casinos and their employees have to abide by and perform, but, you're right, if anything, adhering strictly to these regulations and procedures will limit the liability of a casino should someone try to use them to launder money.

Poker isn't gambling. It's a game of skill, not chance.

Poker involves chance, but the outcome is not random. Also the pot goes to other players instead of the casino, except for the rake.

WTF are you talking about moving of the goal posts? I clearly defined what the OP was about. The point is, that when you think about it, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to think of a business that doesn't exist through the workings of government in some way.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Even if you don't take the deduction, you aren't paying what it costs to actually use those roads that you drive every day, and nor is a business paying for the roads that their employees use every day. Do any business on the internet? That largely exists because of government programs and subsidies. I could go on.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Yet we have many businesses that clearly could not exist as they are without government help like GE that pay no taxes or very little in the way of taxes.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Yeah, it's almost like the government forces its way into every aspect of our lives whether we want it to or not.

It's interesting because so many people and businesses that depend on all this infrastructure refuse to pay for it. Google is another great example.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Considering how low the tax rates are for payroll and capital gains, your argument isn't exactly holding water. If it costs 10 cents out of every dollar to pay for a bit of infrastructure and a company and its employees are only paying 8 cents, you can imagine what that does to society over time and from what I'm seeing this is pretty much the situation we are in.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble

Infrastructure isn't a subsidy, it's a service provided by the government through taxation that could be provided by the private sector, through usage or service costs. A subsidy is a government/budgeted pecuniary handout to keep an industry fungible that would go bankrupt/stop being active unless it received such funds. Infrastructure Ie electricity, roads (tolls) could be provided by the private sector but are rather monopolized by the gov't.
- sofarsoShawn
But yeah, every thing is a double edged sword. Both centralized and decentralized control and planning have their strengths and weaknesses, but I think you need both for a society to thrive...finding the balance? That's the tricky part.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
If government subsidizes a part of infrastructure and you use that infrastructure, you are being subsidized.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
You do know the government is spending citizen's money, right?
- Johnny
Everyone who uses gas is getting a subsidy from the US government because they keep gas prices artificially low compared to the rest of the world. Everyone who uses electricity in this country is being subsidized because without government just about no plants would be built.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Yes, but which citizens and is the use of a part of infrastructure equated out to what an entity (person or business) uses?
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Electricity is hardly monopolized by the government in the U.S., although they do grant monopolies to private companies, because otherwise it wouldn't be economically viable to provide the service.
- Victor Ganata
There's a lot of unfairness in how taxpayers pay for things and how corporations use those things and then don't pay taxes.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
A corporation cannot pay taxes. It can only serve as a convenient collection point for taxes on employees, customers, and owners.
- Alex Scrivener
Say what?
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I'm sure that we would agree that corporations should not be legal entities unto themselves, but unfortunately, in the US, as current law is written and interpreted by the courts, corporations are entities with rights similar to individuals. As such they pay taxes.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I would argue that changed the moment they declared corporations had the same rights as people.
- Victor Ganata
Don't pay taxes? Overtly simplistic view. Corporations pay a large bulk of 'taxes' and 'subsidies' by the volume of goods sent through the US Postal System, US Customs, sales taxes etc. GM may not pay a lot of 'upfront' tax but they do employee a lot of people who pay tax, they sell a lot of cars which attract sales tax etc. Simple equation, take the top corporations out of the picture...

Do corps pay taxes *because* they are legal entities with some of the rights of human persons? If corps weren't treated as 'persons' and couldn't speak to the government with money, would you be OK with corps paying no taxes?
- Tinfoil 2.0
Electricity is directly monopolized state by state, some granting monopolies, others allowing competition. The question depends on the state & gov't in power. But the decision, lies directly with them. By the right mentioned of them able to grant monopolies or competition is exactly the question at issue. Whether it costs the consumer more is not.
- sofarsoShawn
I don't know, LogEx, probably not, because I can't see companies raising pay so that individuals could pay for all the stuff that corporations now pay for.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
With a corporate tax, either the employees pay, because the firm can't afford as many of them; the customers pay, because the firm has to raise their prices to cover the taxes; or the shareholders pay because profits are lower and the company is worth less. If you want to tax those groups, fine. Do it. But hiding the taxes in a "corporate tax" is a trick of politics.
- Alex Scrivener
I'm only commenting in this thread to recognize the gentleman who used the word fungible. PROPS.

I have one... "Las Vegas". I dare say the amount of taxes those companies pay, and all the subsequent taxes that the smaller corporations who service them pay AND all the employees' taxes AND the gambling winnings those who win have to declare on their tax return AND all the tourists that they attract would be fair higher and pay for far more of the infrastructure than the residents of Las Vegas. *taps the fuck out*
- Johnny
That assumes, Alex, that corporations act rationally.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
right now MultiNational Corporations pay nothing, wages are pittance and prices are ruinous - not sure that your argument has a point
- WarLord

- Tinfoil 2.0
Las Vegas wouldn't exist without the transportation networks built and paid for by taxpayers as well as water delivery systems that, if our water usage system was rational, would be much more expensive than they are today. Huge subsidies there.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Yes, but who pays the bulk of that in taxes, the citizens or the corporations?
- Johnny
I'd wager that the citizens do. That infrastructure is very expensive, even when you take in to account all the money that casinos make. Although they are making a lot less at the moment.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Not the citizens of Nevada. Tourists pay the bulk of the tax burden. http://www.nevadanewsbureau.com/2011...
- Victor Ganata
And I say you'd be wrong. Volume, Alex, volume. Corporations pay 'less' tax but compared to the average worker, they pay a larger share.
- Johnny
Cristo, but there is still Federal taxes.
- Johnny
And in the GE case, zero % of 1 billion dollars is still zero.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
So Alex, it's about being self-sufficient. If I pay large sum (but lower percentage) of taxes AND my business draws in even more taxes so in fact the 'subsidies' my business receives is less than the taxes I pay, I don't receive subsidies. I am, in fact, subsidizing the citizens.
- Johnny
Johnny, how is 0% of anything a large sum?
- Victor Ganata
Do GE buy fleet cars? Import raw materials? Purchase local food stuffs, buy stationary? Do they pay taxes in the day-to-day running of their business?
- Johnny
Considering the businesses that GE is in (most are selling goods and services to the government) they are a prime example of what I'm talking about. Doesn't matter how much they pay in taxes, really, because it's all self serving. Money goes out and comes right back in.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
So, if I'm reading you right Alex, is no company, anywhere, operates without a subsidy, anywhere in the world. Cuase the second a citizen puts a dollar in the kitty, even if that kitty is $1,000,001, they have ink on them?
- Johnny
My point is that corporations can't exist without the infrastructure that we build via the government and as such they owe it to taxpayers to pay their fair share of taxes and that many corporations are clearly not paying their fair share of taxes, either directly or indirectly.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
You want game, set, and match? The top 10 largest banks as a perfect example.

Why use the term "subsidy" to refer to public infrastructure?

One of the things we want the Open Research Computation journal to do is bring more of the transparency and open critique that characterises the best Open Source Software development processes into the scholarly peer review process. But you can talk about changing the way peer review works and you can actively do something about.

well, Matthew, why not finalise the draft in the open? and actually I think journals should be made to accept *especially* submissions that were drafted (and maybe also finalised) in the open :-) honestly, I see no reason why e.g. our journal (CTT) should not accept any open science articles... I am waiting for our author teams to take exactly this step (or any other pro-open-science ones) for that matter
- Claudia Koltzenburg
It's mainly because the switch to Word is to get things ready for submission, and we weren't expecting any big changes in the process (which didn't turn out to be quite right, actually), and the things we were attending to were mainly cosmetic. But it was assembled on OWW for quite a while first.

Walt: Are the Word files in an XML based format such as DOCX? Maybe there is a better tool than Open Office to do the conversion to HTML, or directly to EPUB, since they should all support CSS ok.
- Mike Chelen
btw, http://ff.im/Af5vh Libre Office now
- Claudia Koltzenburg
Followup: The newest version of LibreOffice does a better job of importing Word documents. I might try an ePub output one of these days. But, Mike, "maybe there is a better tool" begs the question: For ePub to succeed more broadly, us poverty-stricken writers can't be told to go buy more tools.
- Walt Crawford
Walt: Hopefully a conversion between XML based formats should be more practical. Then a variety of tools can include such a feature, hopefully including free and open source utilities. Great to hear about LibreOffice, will have to checkout ePub support again.

Word2010 *is* XML-based (as was Word2007), that is, .docx.

How Google plans to beat the iPad - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id...

"Today we got the best look yet at Google's anti-iPad, the Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet OS. Though much has been shared previously, it's finally clear what Google is doing to differentiate its tablets from the iPad — and what Google thinks works so well on Apple's platform that they're borrowing it for themselves."

Apple is still probably ahead in UI and hardware, but these tablets may be very popular with new users who might not afford Apple's premium sticker price.
- Mike Chelen
^ Not true. Prices for iPad are far from premium at the moment ($499 for basic iPad), Android-based tablets can't beat that yet, unless they start a price war with Apple (and they can't do that either, because it might lead to negative margin and other neat consequences).
- Тепло и пушисто
Actually, not all of them overpriced — Moto is coming to realization of price drops that are necessary to compete with Apple (and thus considers the price tag for Xoom around 5 hundred bucks in big retail outlets). As for overpriced, there was a torrent of stories about costs and supply chain of both Apple and others (mostly Samsung/Motorola), here's the one from NYT:...

$500 is still a reasonable amount more than the ~$250 netbooks which support more software and include full keyboards.
- Mike Chelen
There's no netbook comparable to Xoom's Tegra chipset or 1280 x 800 screen resolution and 10 hrs battery. You get either "long battery+low power" or "fair power+average battery", and when you find one that's both, then it isn't $250 notebook already. I don't say there's no way to cut the price (Apple has always taken a premium niche, be it Mac, iPod or iPhone, so iPad for $499 means...

When people ask if Friendfeed is dead, I am selfishly tempted to say yes. Is that bad?

Um, you wouldn't be far from the truth ie those who supposed to be developing the UI/in charge etc...*shrugs* ~ whatevs...we survive, we thrive, we aren't embittered, we carry on! (I should add IMO :)

I'd be upset if I didn't know also know where the secret stash of Friendfeed is hidden ;)
- chrisofspades
I think, that's what you were getting at with your Q, that's what I believe most people imply (the admin) when it comes to down to the fundamentals of FF, though it can all be answered with one simple url -> http://www.isfriendfeeddeadyet.com/
- sofarsoShawn
Development has indeed halted on the Friendfeed server software. Other platforms are catching up, but none are quite as good yet. The site itself seems to be running fine, although some features such as search are partially partially operational at best.
- Mike Chelen
I feel it is mostly dead. Making sure to get onto FF now feels like a chore to me. I need to do a better job of seeing who's on Twitter, etc. so that I don't lose the people.
- In Search of Gender
Scott: My perspective is totally the reverse, it is fun and comfortable to be on FF. It is more difficult to justify spending all my time here though, when development has stalled.
- Mike Chelen
FriendFeed is NOT dead... Well, only when twitter is not down anyways.

Amplify has had a major step backwards, Cliqset has closed down and Pip.io didn't turn out to be what we were expecting.

Thank goodness for FrienFeed! :-D
- Kol Tregaskes
Amplify: has removed the blogging feature all together, so I'll have to redirect my links elsewhere. What a odd and frustrating move!
- Kol Tregaskes
Cliqset: closed down as they didn't promote the service as a place to hang out. Feature-rich and in places better than FriendFeed but didn't have anyone using it.
- Kol Tregaskes
Pip.io talked the talk but didn't walk the walk. The new version wasn't a great leap forward and certainly certain features we thought were coming didn''t.
- Kol Tregaskes
Like we've been discussing for a long time we really need a place where we can distribute are content from our own hosted area on the net.
- Kol Tregaskes
That is always the weakness of centralised system: they can change it what ever way they want to focus on needs that dont match yours. All the work and content you put in vanishes down a black hole (cant imagine how I would get out of FF stuff I wrote a year ago, for example). There are quite a few self hosted options you can set up, and of course there was wave which was trying to go...

Ah it was Diaspora: https://joindiaspora.com/ - still waiting for an invite. It feels like it's been a year of waiting! :-(

What do you mean? I can still write a post with their bookmarklet/Fx ext or was their another feature? I just started using it yesterday

Has anyone looked at Friendika? http://portal.friendika.com/ I don't know if it's *the* one, but it has the features I think are best for users (users are the customers, not the product): open-source, distributed, privacy-friendly, self-hosted, etc.

Pip.io demonstrated that you can't have a company run solely by developers. They launched too early. Pip.io had the chance to overtake Twitter and possibly even Facebook but they got overly excited and released too soon not understanding that once the public has assessed you, it's nearly impossible to get them to give you another chance. Regardless of how great their ideas and efforts...

I just tried out it's auto posting features with a video import, which looks brilliant, but nope, it's frustratingly faulty at each connection their were posting errors or something was missing. FF still works much better

You can install Diaspora if you're technical. https://github.com/diaspor... It's still alpha though
- AJ Batac
Where do Twitter and Facebook fit in? There are RSS import options for both, and Twitter recently added multimedia embed support.
- Mike Chelen
Shawn, which service are you talking about? Amplify? Thanks for the add btw. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Yup amplify, when auto posting, it will update your soc net with the link to amplify of your content, not the actual content: this happens with Twitter which I way more heavily it updated it with: something something sofarsoShawn amplifyed some biznatch <link>, posterous, Buzz, tumblr, and I haven't even checked out the others
- sofarsoShawn
@akiva, I left Pip.io and is now working at Twitter. You're very right about what happened to Pip.io, I got pushed to release things that weren't ready or polished for mass consumption. But I've definitely learned a ton about how to build a site where the users are heavily interactive with each other and I'm working on something new. Pretty much distilling that idea, ripping out the...

holy crap, cliqset closed down? I didn't even know (guess that's an indicator), I was routing for them, loved how they were using bleeding edge technology

What technology did Cliqset use that was so advanced? Their web site seemed fine but I didn't notice any special usage of the latest web technologies.

just participated in my first twitter chat -- it was exhausting. I would've like a g-wave type interface -- cannot construct "participation trees" in my head so fast:-(

Try a client such as Tweetdeck or Seesmic. If only Twitter's website supported threaded the comments or realtime updates like some other sites *cough* Friendfeed *cough*
- Mike Chelen
Yep, Cadmus is also a good online tool that threads convos from here as well as Twitter that you can use.

Thanks for the suggestions!
