Some new additions to the physics blogroll:<\/p>\n
1) Not all that new, but I keep forgetting to post a link: Clifford Johnson has spun off Asymptotia<\/a> from Cosmic Variance, to house his own brand of bike-riding, concert-going, vegetable-buying physics blogging. If you read Clifford’s stuff at Cosmic Variance, you know what you’re getting. If you haven’t read his stuff, well, go check it out.<\/p>\n 2) A new group blog: The n-category Cafe<\/a>, featuring John Baez, David Corfield and Urs Schreiber. It’s a little tough to say what this will really be about, since they only have two posts up, but they all have their own bloggy histories, so you can probably reconstruct it from that.<\/p>\n The combination of these two items does raise an interesting question, though. I mean, on the one hand, we have Clifford splitting off from a group blog, while on the other, we’ve got the formation of a new group blog. The question is, which of these represents the future of the blogosphere? Will physicists continue to coalesce into bigger and bigger group blogs (making Clifford into the Hawking radiation of blogdom), or are we going to approach equlibirum, with as many people leaving group blogs as there are people starting them.<\/p>\n I think we need to get some people working on this critical problem, as it has important implications for the future history of the entire blogosphere. Maybe we can get the Templeton Foundation to give us a grant…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some new additions to the physics blogroll: 1) Not all that new, but I keep forgetting to post a link: Clifford Johnson has spun off Asymptotia from Cosmic Variance, to house his own brand of bike-riding, concert-going, vegetable-buying physics blogging.
