In the light of my recent posting on Web 2.0 in science, I ran into The Scientific Debate via Element List. From what I can gather, including a comment from the sites developer, the site is a Digg-like site for scientific publication. The site definitely has a biology bent, although apparently chemistry and engineering have been added. It is still a work in progress and I shall be watching carefully.
I would like to add a couple of other sites to the scientific ecosystem on the web, Megite, which specifically tracks science (including this blog), and Tailrank which did track the scienceblogging anthology meme. In both cases the results are mixed, although Megite is promising.
Thanks for the mention, Deepak. We would be very interested in hearing any feedback from you and your readers, so please feel free to contact us at scientificdebate-at-gmail-dot-com. Cheers.
