Image by mndoci via FlickrAt ScienceOnline09 we had some great sessions on Blogging without a Blog and one on Social Networks in Science. A common theme, microblogging, specifically Twitter and FriendFeed. Even a casual reader of this blog knows that I love both services and think that FriendFeed has been incredibly useful for the life science community, both as a little back channel and for event coverage. Perhaps the moment that got FriendFeed on a lot of radars was the coverage during ISMB 2008. Today that coverage reached a new level of acceptance with the publication of a report of ISMB coverage at FriendFeed in PLoS Computational Biology, penned by a very familiar list of names.
Perhaps not coincidentally the folks at ISCB seem to be trying their hand at using FriendFeed, although /me thinks they could use some help

I love this article a lot! thanks for posting.
social networks used by scientists will help people to get more understand on high-level sciences, ordinary people should use social networks to share their needs of certain innovation of scientists.
