I get a fair number of emails from people who have blogs or other web stuff that they would like to advertise. I do look at most of the links I get sent, but I end up posting very few of them. Not because I dislike what I see, but because I just don’t have the time or energy to thoroughly research the links. I don’t want to inadvertently endorse any kooks or cranks by linking to them (and I get a good number of those, too), and I tend to err very much on the side of caution.
Which means that a fair number of worthy or interesting sites go un-linked. To give you an example of the sorts of things I get, here are two that arrived this week:
- A debate about energy from spiked. Most of the participants are affiliated with institutions in the UK, and I’m sure that would be very informative if I were British. As it is, all I can say is that there are some interesting articles there.
- Edugree.com, a site which is devoted to providing employment and education information, with sample resumes, job-seeking tips, and the like. I’ve only skimmed the site, but the advice they give looks fairly reasonable at a quick glance, though as a career academic, I really don’t know from business jobs.
Anyway, I do feel a little bad about blowing off so many earnest attempts to gain more recognition, so I’ll steal an idea from Senor BaconCat, and declare an Open Pimping Thread. If you’ve got a website, book, album, or other work that you’d like to promote (your own or others’), leave a link in the comments. It doesn’t have to have anything to do with physics, or even science– if you’ve got something to promote, here’s the thread to do it.
