Some psychologists may be interested in a recent compilation "Over
Two-Hundred Education & Science Blogs [Hake (2009)].
The abstract reads:
**********************************************
ABSTRACT: This compilation, an expansion of the earlier "Over Sixty
Education Blogs," lists over two-hundred education and science blogs,
providing for each blog: the author's name and background; the blog
title, focus, and URL; and (where available) the Technorati Authority
[TA] (number of blogs linking to the website in the last six months)
and the Blogged Rating [BR]. Appendix A discusses the Academic
Discussion List Sphere (ADLsphere) and the Blog Sphere (Blogosphere),
indicating some strengths and weaknesses of each. Appendix B
considers the ADLsphere and the Blogosphere as harbingers of a
collective short-term working memory. Appendix C discusses the
International Edubloggers Directory, Technorati, Blogged,
ScienceBlogs; other blog directories and lists; and other social
networking sites. The REFERENCES contain over 100 general citations
to open access, internet usage, the ADLsphere, and the Blogosphere.
