I assume the CC is new, not the standard YT license? - Egon Willighagen

Yes, this is new. Only one CC licence at present though - but this is progress. - AJCann

It's just that the NEW is placed at the same hight as the YT license... - Egon Willighagen

F.A.B. :) - Graham Steel

Any chance there is an audio file for this? - Brian Westra

Brian, unfortunately not. See ff thread http://ff.im/A3XZn for a brief overview, and I'll try to add some notes to the slides in the next few days. - Heather Piwowar

Nice, but don't the numbers need to be rotated 90° clockwise? - Mr. Gunn

I looked at the graph and the first thing I thought was: "where are the axes labels" :-) - Mickey Kosloff

pq -- "The future of scholarly publishing does look bright - just not for publishers." It even looks pretty good for publishers who aren't insanely greedy. :-) - Bill Hooker

Thanks, Egon. I replied there (basically agreeing with your point about peer-review standards). - Björn Brembs

Updated my Link to Link Wordpress plugin to now use a simplified version of CiTO. - Martin Fenner

Egon, I thought about this too. It makes a lot of sense to create the code ResearchBlogging needs with a Wordpress plugin. I will look into this when I start working on a plugin that creates a bibliography in March. - Martin Fenner

tldr (yet) but thought folks around here might be interested - Bill Hooker from Bookmarklet

It is interesting that the ACM Digital Library entry (http://portal.acm.org/citatio...) for this article has a broken DOI number and requires an account for full text access. The authors note that: "this is preliminary work (version 1.0, or rather 0.9). We release it anyway according to the concepts proposed in this document." This is a nice illustration of the point that the ACM Digital Library does not handle versioning well. - Don Pellegrino

A week or two ago, I published a post in which I argued that most papers, which report order of magnitude speedup of a bioinformatics algorithm by using graphics processors (GPUs), did so based straw man comparisons: Massively parallel GPU implementations were compared to CPU implementations that did not make full use of the multi-core [...] - Lars Juhl Jensen

Congrats! What's it about? Or doesn't that matter? :) - Egon Willighagen

Congrats !!! - Mitsuteru N

Wondering what the first journal will be to accept DOIs and do the viz themselves... - Egon Willighagen

well, let me take some steps, then, and make explicit CTT's longstanding policy: http://friendfeed.com/claudia... - Claudia Koltzenburg

Perhaps authors are now deliberately baiting you in order to get publicity for their paper :) - nlomioni

As requested, I'm officially adding the Björnome: http://bjoern.brembs.net/news... - Björn Brembs

Think the rub is both a) standards are still lagging behind users (formats for marking up identications and quantitations are still in development), and b) mass spec manufacturers and key software tools are still not fully supporting the standards that already exist. - Neil Swainston from iPhone

its so weird to hear my own voice :) - Pedro Beltrao

Wow, I didn't realize nodalpoint was revived (and in podcast form). Love! - Chris Lasher

Amused at the mailing lists. JISC, you rascals! - AJCann

I was honoured to talk at the symposium to celebrate Peter Murray-Rusts' work. I didn't want to give the usual kind of talk to this audience. I wanted to focus on what I think are the big risks and opportunities for the research community and why I believe that a focus on maximising research impact might be a way to bring the community together in a positive way. However I made my own point by inadvertently putting up a permissions slide that prohibited livestreaming, live blogging, and recording. By using a restrictive licence I very effectively reduced the potential impact of my talk about impact. The message is pretty clear. If you want to make a difference, use an open licence and give people permission to re-use your work. If you want to make no impact at all then restrictive licences are a great way to achieve that. - Cameron Neylon

Thing was, Cameron started off by discussing his early career. I assumed that he was talking about issues he didn't want broadcast around the world (I couldn't tell if the video was streaming or not). Either that, I thought, or else he was going to make a point at the end of the talk about how no-one can prevent live discussion of talks. - Noel O'Boyle

Just had a quick glance at the bioinformatics questions there. It looks like at least half of them could be answered by pasting the question into Google. - Lars Juhl Jensen

I have seen mention of Quora Gurus and blog posts along the lines of "How to market your brand on Quora", so there is plenty of noise coming and I have no idea how they're going to handle it. - Mr. Gunn

a simple Hide function as here on FF may be just enough, though an adaptive 'priority' function as on gmail could be really useful too... - Egon Willighagen
