More on Blogging Referee Reports and Hacking Peer Review
Just to be clear - I am in the camp that believes that we should do away with prior-to-publication peer review. That said, Seb Paquet explores the concept of blogging peer reviews in this short item. More...
Blogging Glossary
Some good fun, this blogging vocabulary passes the accuracy test, being in my perspective a good overview of blogging terminology. More...
Stephen Downes' Aussie blogBlogging Communities And The Knowledge Enterprise

The lure of low hanging fruit is irresistable, I suppose, but there is something just wrong, in my mind at least, with the concept.
