What You’re Doing Is Rather Desperate

Twitter Friends FOAF view

I’m liking TwitterFriends

I agree. Finally, social network visualisation that tells you something useful; e.g. well-connected people = useful to know. All without asking for your password too.
TwitterFriends.

The Twitter + FriendFeed combination is proving to be a very useful information stream; not just from other people but as a reminder of what I thought was worth sharing. Two links from there that I think deserve wider attention:

• One Big Lab proposes that we become, well, one big lab – and has some ideas as to how that might work.
• From the OWW wiki, an excellent article on python in computational biology. This has been presented at Pycon 2008 and is also a companion article to a paper in PLoS Computational Biology. Imagine if everyone described their methods in this detail.

Deepak has some commentary on what we’re now calling the “bio-twitterverse”.

My Tweet Cloud is probably trying to tell me something important. But what? Thanks to Attila for pointing to the resource.

Busy. No time for real posts. Brief updates:

• Attila is set to resume the great live thesis online experiment
• I have succumbed to Twitter, woe is me
• On a related note, Firefox extension Shareaholic is a nice idea, if a bit rough round the edges just now
