While liveblogging the IHMC 2012 scientific conference on Google+, Thomas Sharpton and I quickly discovered that comments on a post do not update in realtime there like they do on FriendFeed. Kudos to the FriendFeed engineering team for the solid and groundbreaking innovations they made!
This particular feature is useful during collaborative liveblogging so we can see each other's comments and reduce redundancy while composing our own.

On the plus side for Google+, conference liveblogging bangs on the commenting system really hard, and I've seen nary a glitch so far.

Please sign this petition opposing the Research Works Act, which would reverse progress toward making scientific information which the public paid for, available to the public. http://wh.gov/K25

A few special interests, namely certain commercial publishers, have spearheaded this act by making claims about open access publishing that fly in the face of reality, e.g., the success of the Public Library of Science (PLoS), and the fact that the peer review process is alive and well in math and physics despite the extensive use of the arXiv.org preprint server ahead of publication.

The typo in this ad is rather astounding. See p. 127 of the Dec. 19 & 26, 2011 issue of the New Yorker.
Maybe they were typing with a Boston accent?

I was thinking the same thing, Kristin; but I suspect there should be an "h" where the "r" is missing if that was the case.

Has anyone else found that the new Facebook message/chat integration is a bit broken this morning?
I'm not sure how I'll feel about it once it's fixed -- sometimes it's nice to have transient chats.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Facebook chat and messaging were always broken, even separately and not for technical reasons...

Harvard Business Review: "The Unselfish Gene" http://hbr.org/2011...
"Ross and his collaborators told half the players in their experiments that they were playing the Community Game and the other half that they were playing the Wall Street Game. The two groups were identical in all other respects. Yet, in the Community Game group, 70% started out playing cooperatively and continued to do so throughout the experiment. In the Wall Street Game group, the proportions were reversed: 70% of the players didn’t cooperate with one another. Thirty percent started out playing cooperatively but stopped when the others didn’t respond." !
