myScience: “social software” for scientists:
[Via O’Really? at Duncan.Hull.name]
With apologies to Jonathan Swift:
“Great sites have little sites upon their back to bite ‘em
And little sites have lesser sites, and so ad infinitum…”So what happened was, Carole Goble asked on the myExperiment mailing list, “is there a list of scientist social networking sites”? Here is first attempt at such a list (not comprehensive), you’ll have to decide for yourself which are the great, greater, little and lesser sites.
For simplicity, I’ll break social software down into social networking, data sharing, blogging, ranking and video. These categories aren’t exclusive, as some sites do more than one of these tasks, but they help to classify the wild wild web of social software.
