Has anyone used Web 2.0 tools like FriendFeed, Twitter, etc. to initiate or implement collaborative science? I'm writing a series of pieces about new technology in scientific communication, and I'd love to talk to someone who's actually used these sorts of tools to do actual science. Let me know!

I'm not sure this counts but the biogang (http://biogang.openwetware.org/) was sort of founded/created via Twitter/FriendFeed interactions. Lots of projects there. Also, the bioinformatics survey was also propelled by T/FF if I recall. - Ricardo Vidal

Jean-Claude Bradley started a spreadsheet where he wrote this kind of information : https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc... - Pierre Lindenbaum

This is really amazing, you guys. Thank you. JC, the spreadsheet is incredible. - Chris Patil

There are so many examples on discussion boards like ScientistSolutions, Molecular Station, etc. (Disclaimer, I work for SSI). I could give a you a list of at least 50 specific threads on our site. Here's a recent favorite http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t8853-h... - Rusty Bishop

I just added to the spreadsheet re: the help I got with CSV munging shell scripts earlier. Would discovery of papers through social bookmarking be considered collaborative science? - Mr. Gunn

@Mr. Gunn - no, i don't think so. Collaboration suppose to be productive - if discussion about papers within the group brought all participants to consensus that could be collaboration via social bookmarking with discussions. But bookmarking sites don't provide discussions. Even they would, it will take for a long while for scientists to start discuss about papers online - simple online collaboration. My thoughts also here - http://hematopoiesis.info/2009... - Alexey

Chris - Carmen Drahl made a nice video showing how FriendFeed is used to collaborate with scientists (second vid on the right) http://pubs.acs.org/cen... - Jean-Claude Bradley

Pierre - thanks for posting the spreadsheet - it is nice to see these little projects get re-use - Jean-Claude Bradley

Concretely, the References Wanted room (http://friendfeed.com/rooms...) has really been useful in writing up articles so I can rapidly get my hands on hard-to-come by references in journals to which my institution does not subscribe. But I'm not sure this is a great thing to bring up in your article, except in a vague way; we're not quite clear which side of the law participating re-distributors are on (fair use, or not?) It's not quite the same as discovering papers as per Mr. Gunn. - Heather

Are we forming the queue here then? If so, here I am :) Thanks! (allyson.lurena at that gmail email account) - Allyson Lister

The BBC suggest that each account gets 5 invites (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1...), but I read on Techcrunch yesterday that each account got 8 nominations (not invites, merely suggestions...). There's obviously no definitive info out there. Anyway, if there's invites going, and this is the queue, count me in :) (sjcockell at googlemail) - Simon Cockell

Those Ebay buyers are going to be sorely disappointed when they find that it's not an invite but rather a nomination, which I read a Google's way of saying "we'll know if you try to let in a SEO or spam account". - Mr. Gunn

Ok - it looks like I have eight - can other people on the sandbox confirm numbers and we can see about dividing these things up. Also can anyone who got their own invite delete the comment above? - Cameron Neylon

I can confirm 8 invites... which are really nominations, it seems... - Egon Willighagen

Line gets crowded ;-) pls count me in: yar.nikolaev [] gmail.com - Yaroslav Nikolaev

I make it 17 names above - and I've seen at least three other requests (Richard Akerman, Mike Ellis, David Bradley). So not sure how to do this. My inclination is to prioritise based on people who will be able to put some direct effort into building (but not necessarily coding) things. - Cameron Neylon

Can I just check whether Bjorn, Andy, and others with sandbox accounts have any free invites? - Cameron Neylon

Would it be worth getting those interested in obtaining accounts to write a short abstract (say 100-200 words) about the sorts of projects they'd use their account for? - Dan Hagon

According to http://twitter.com/larsras... no more invitations are being processed until tomorrow (Sydney time) - Nick Lothian

To all those wondering what is going on here - we are trying to coordinate the invitations we have with the people who want them. Its a bit of a slow process. - Cameron Neylon

Shouldn't Wave make that process faster? :) - Jan Aerts from Android

Yes, Jan. There's a wave weve set up for tracking who's got them and who still needs them. Everyone from this thread (that I know - please don't spam this thread ;-)) has been added. - Mr. Gunn

Since I haven't heard from Google, yet, I'll place myself in this queue for Wave invites. First name, last name, gmail. Thanks for organizing the process. - Chris Lasher

Cameron - Thanks for your efforts to match requests to invitations. Hopefully there'll be enough to go around for everyone on this thread who asked for one. Btw, because I didn't mention it above, my gmail account name is axiomsofchoice. - Dan Hagon

Jan, Wave makes the communication faster and more efficient in some ways but it doesn't help that much for human processes - like making difficult decisions. Also as far as I am aware the invitations I haven't sent haven't actually flowed through the system yet so you're not missing anything as yet... - Cameron Neylon

Oh, I'll add myself late to the list. rni.boh at gmail (you know the rest...). - Bob O'Hara

Did you kids see this out of researchgate today? They're setting up a self archiving service. Not sure how it's legal, or how it works, or if their metadata gathering is going to be correct... http://blog.researchgate.net/index... - Brian Krueger - LabSpaces

Well, supposedly they're just hosting personal webpages, so that's their self-archiving argument, same as a blog. The big question is whether they're going to expose the metadata for the papers properly. - Mr. Gunn

I personally like the idea of searching the web for self-archived papers rather than going to a specific site and doing a repository-specific search. - Mr. Gunn

Google Scholar already provides something similar to a decentralized search. It usually finds self-archived papers on personal/lab pages with decent accuracy. - Ricardo Vidal

@molecularist Never read Paulo Coelho. And I don't like.

"An hour and a half after waking, early birds and night owls were equally alert and showed no difference in attention-related brain activity. But after being awake for 10 and a half hours, night owls had grown more alert, performing better on a reaction-time task requiring sustained attention and showing increased activity in brain areas linked to attention. More important, these regions included the suprachiasmatic area, which is home to the body’s circadian clock. This area sends signals to boost alertness as the pressure to sleep mounts. Unlike night owls, early risers didn’t get this late-day lift." - Donnie Berkholz from Bookmarklet

Glad to see one positive about us night owls. Many are touting the harm of going against circadian cycle. Have been a day sleeper for ten plus years-no harm no foul. - Celt MacGann

I know this feeling... Have had far too many days where my brain only really starts to wake up at 6pm, just in time to leave office because girlfriend/social life/other commitments are calling - Andrew Clegg

@Bora spectacular post! Love the wealth of information and dearth of politics :) Feel less guilty and more hopeful already. Here's one of my favorite lines from Bora's post: 'Of course, all of the above are the strategies to shift your clock to a "socially accepted" phase. But you are not crazy or sick. It is the societal pressure to get up at a certain time that is making you sick. Try... more... - Steve Koch

@ Bora -- loved the post, too! I especially appreciated the discussion of light -- I spent a few months reading up on the impact of light, and a Science channel feature on biochronology a few months ago found that very bright light did a lot to help Alzheimer's patients and that planning around an individual's circadian rhythm could ease the side effects of chemo while increasing... more... - Mickey Schafer

That was my first true science post, from January 2005, the one that showed me there is interest in this and I could move from blogging politics to blogging science. I posted it on a brand new blog that nobody knew about, just set up, and the next day it was linked by BoingBoing, Andrew Sullivan and others. Even today, it is still my most visited post ever (and that counts ONLY the... more... - Bora Zivkovic
