Social media for scientists

The following slidecast (that is, a slideshow including audio) is an excellent presentation by Mary Canady and William Gunn on social media for scientists. Topics covered: LinkedIn, Twitter, social bookmarking (delicious, citeulike, Mendeley), FriendFeed, science blogs.

If you are a scientist and you think social media is completely useless for you as a researcher... well, you are wrong and must watch this!

    Shame about the background noise when Mr Gunn speaks, more like Mr Humm.....

    I don't know what that noise was. The recording was clear when I made it. I think part of that was caused by the compression.

    I'm going to re-record it, because it really doesn't sound as good as it should.
