Scholarster

Nick, who needs an “about” page, passes on an anecdote regarding his brother finding a valuable social link while writing his dissertation by posting to his blog. Seb Paquet hooked me up with Liz Lawley, and we collaborated on writing a (sadly unsuccessful) grant proposal.

I wonder if there are similar anecdotes. It seems to me too early to think about this systematically, but a collection of these kinds of stories might yield something valuable in terms of scholarly blogging.
