@BoraZ Perhaps it should be coupled with that at http://sciencepond.com/ somehow? - Daniel Mietchen

I now have access to Twitter lists, it doesn't look like there's an easy way to import the scientwist list...need someone with API skills... - David Bradley

the issue with lists is you can only add people you follow, and lists are owned by individual users - Richard Akerman

you can add people you don't follow to your lists - Bora Zivkovic

That's a bit strong...but I do get your point. Interviews and responses to my recent post on social networks for scientists would suggest that scientists don't really want or need them anyway... - David Bradley

Yes it is strong. Science is a worldwide endeavour, limiting access to national borders is (in my opinion) absurd. It implicitly suggests that "foreigners" have nothing to contribute. - Kubke

I agree with the sentiment, I just don't like the use of expletives in public forums. - David Bradley

I apologise, it was not my intention to offend. - Kubke

I think this 12M could have been spend in a much better way. Creating islands is *not* web2.0, nor what the semantic web is about. Congrats to the team for managing to get this grant! - Egon Willighagen

With this amount of money, I do not quite understand why the restrict to country... also looking forward to there FOAF use... - Egon Willighagen

Heheheh...I was trying to be clever, clever with that Gen-F (as in Generation Facebook, but also as in Generation F*** - David Bradley

now that's a bold statement Dave! - Jean-Claude Bradley

Last week I suggested students to put their papers on google docs so I could comment on the work before they handed in, to which the general response was "google what"? - Kubke

This seems to correlate with the lack of awareness of RSS in my experience. - Peter Miller

Heh...wasn't meant to be...was just meant to be a joke... - David Bradley

My son's (average, nothing particularly special) high school has it's own Google system, so he knows all about Google Docs, maybe his is the generation that won't balk at the idea Kubke. - David Bradley

I asked my cheminfo retrieval class how many blogged and was disappointed that got 0/30. Most of them had never edited a wiki either. - Jean-Claude Bradley

I gave one of my Google Wave invites to my son... he's in primary school. At about the age I started programming BASIC on the Spectravideo SV-328... I hope he will write his own robot :) - Egon Willighagen

I'm sure he will Egon. My daughter's final report from pre-school mentioned "good mouse control" and I assume they weren't talking murine hypnotism... - David Bradley

I got slated on a list when I told a bunch of science and technology journalists that we shouldn't be wasting each others' time regurgitating the Twitter FAQ on the list when someone wanted handholding through the registration procedure...you wouldn't expect a cookery list to explain how to use a knife would you or a carpentry list to explain what a chisel is? - David Bradley

I wish I get a gen of students like your son David! - Kubke
