So who the heck is still on ScienceBlogs anyways, 2011 edition

By jdupuis on August 26, 2011.

What with the latest round of departures seemingly immanent with the new "no pseudonymous bloggers" policy, I thought I'd revisit the list I did last year at about this time.

With a few exceptions, I'll call blogs dormant if there hasn't been a post in 2011.

There were three new blogs over the last year, We, Beasties, Art of Science Learning and Dean's Corner, which I've added.

I may have missed a couple of other cases of pseudonymous blogging or maybe a move or something, so please feel free to offer corrections in the comments.

So, who the heck is still on ScienceBlogs anyways!?
I know I'm sure as hell having a hard time keeping up with all the comings and goings. If anything, the impression is probably that the lights are practically out and we're all singing Old Lang Syne. This, of course, is far from the case. The lights are still on, we're most of us blogging away.…
Sb Has 19 Active Blogs
I'm not a big blog reader, sad to tell, and I have almost no insight into what's going on elsewhere in the science blogosphere including ScienceBlogs. But a few days ago I got curious about what the network I'm on is like these days, and I did some investigating. I was surprised by what I found. In…
Sb Has 16 Active Blogs
A year ago I took a look at the surrounding landscape here at Sb, investigating which of the blogs were active – defined as which ones had seen an entry during the month up to 24 Jan '15. Now I've looked at the month up to 17 Jan '16. The result isn't great. Four blogs have gone quiet and one has…
Periodic Table of the ScienceBlogs, Part 1.
It's not easy keeping track of all the ScienceBlogs. Take four dozen witty and prolific science writers, some of whom post more than once a day, spread them out across a wide range of disciplines and sub-specialties, and what you'll have yourself is a big, tangly embarrassment of riches. What's a…

"A vote for science" was an election cycle thing. I suppose we could bring it back. Maybe "cyclic/seasonal" is a better tag for that one.

I had never heard of that Sciencblogs HQ thing. It seems to have ever had only one post.

Maybe I shoudl do it myself instead of griping, but a list of who is not on sciblogs anymore and where they are would be better. It would help drive traffic to the people who have left.

No, such leave-takings, as a matter of going beyond rather than within, must be considered otherwise: but as some are highly visible, we might describe them as eminently transcendent...

Hi Ed, there are some resources for figuring out some SB expats, like Carl Zimmer's post here, the epats RSS feed here, an SB expats twitter feed and even a diagram! I'm not sure if any of them are completely up to date, but they're a start.
