About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick. Meantime, please take a minute to read our Privacy Policy and Site Disclaimer.Recommended

Hey,
thank you for your reply. Find my comments below:
>Having tried to fill out your survey, it seems the application doesn't consider >scientists outside a short list of disciplines -- nor does it consider those who >work in industry, without a university affiliation.
Which question according to "it consider those who work in industry, without a university affiliation" would you add in this survey?
Our point was in the survey that we do not want to distinguish between academic and industrial research, because both have in common the research. Which sciences/disciplines do you miss in this survey? We can add them asap.
>I happen to fall into both categories. If your app isn't applicable to those of us >in other industries or other professions, it has a reduced chance of ever reaching >a critical mass.
We are planning to build and design this platform in this way, that it is suitable to every kind of researcher.
>Your response regarding Facebook overlooks the point. Of course with Facebook, you >develop your own application and make it available to Facebook users through their >API. It's another channel/portal for your application, and likely the best hope >your application has for getting wide distribution.
This is a good point and idea. We will consider this in our future planning.
Maybe you are interested in a beta account or a more personal contact. If yes I would be happy if you write me an email to I.Madisch at researchgate.com
Thank you again.
