As Dan Silkstone writes about the "most extraordinary rise" of 70 million blogs in the blogosphere, in the minute it takes you to read this post 80 new blogs are created. The function of blogs is changing as well as institutionalised culture slowly adapts to the online publishing revolution. At MIT the admissions office is paying students to blog on their site as a powerful recruitment tool. And the rumblings persist that KC Johnson deserves a pulitzer for his legal blogging on a Duke University sexual assault scandal. So with publications like the "Science Blogging Anthology" coming out, is it time to take blogs seriously on the academic publsihing front? Is there a way to allow academics to cite blogs when listing academic publishing achievements? How about peer review blogging?
