The blogging conference in North Carolina--not to be confused with a flogging conference or a logging conference or a jogging conference--is over and I just wanted to share some reviews (due to the nature of the beast, it's been blogged left, right, and center). Check out these links:
In my opinion, the best moment of the conference was Dave Munger's announcement of http://researchblogging.org, a new site that will channel blog posts that cover peer-reviewed literature. Just in time for Just Science 2008, when participants will blog science only posts from February 4th through 8th.
