Introducing postgenomic
Tuesday, February 28th, 2006Postgenomic is a life science web log aggregator, but it does more than that:
Postgenomic collates posts from life science blogs and then does useful and interesting things with that data.
For example, it allows you to get an instant picture of which web sites are being heavily linked to by researchers in the medical sciences, or which papers are being cited or reviewed most often by bioinformaticians, or which buzzwords are being used the most frequently by evolutionary biologists.
Sounds interesting. It has three feeds you can subscribe to: recent top stories, recent reviews, and recent hot papers. I found out about this via The Social Software Weblog. They report that it’s currently limited to 155 blogs, and that it’s been up for less than a week. The creator of postgenomic is an anonymous scientist named ‘Stew’ who’s working on the project anonymously for fear of losing his job!
