Lynx is a better browser, ...

... and better in Blynx settings.

So why are so few using it?

They have time for graphics?
The pretty colours entice them?

Or was it the default browser?

Connotea: an idea release that may inspire?

Connotea, a "free online reference management service" from Nature magazine (supposedly the New York City office) allows the saving of links to favourite articles, references, weblogs and other online resources.

A public blog for science then.

But few are using the idea of a blog.

And why not just references to printed (pre-online?) material?

An idea for social bookmarking in fields which are notorious for weak people trying to hold all the information to themselves.

Look at the lists and see that it is a hobby for some. And is there any benefit for public display of thinking and reading? Does it lead to better publications? Are the people in the "trade" sociable?
