I Quantalk Because my Mouth is Full

Sam, after asking me for $100 dollars out of nowhere, points me to quantalk.org, a new slick website for, err, talking about quantum information. Seems to be a closed registration right now, so no talking by plebes is allowed, but it is slick! I hope it goes far, considering how little success I've had in my own endeavors into Science 2.0.

Interestingly, and spurring Sam's comment, right now it says they are offering one hundred euro for reviews right now (Update: Simon Benjamin, one of the operators, points that you need to make sure and email them before embarking on such an adventure.). I'd love to write a review, but alas the website says:

The style should be polite and professional; not too chatty or jokey.

which rules out everything I've ever written. Alas, I will never be a professional scientist, I suppose! Which makes me kind of happy :)
