Blogging competition for PLoS ONE birthday

Liz Allen, PLoS ONE @ Two - second birthday synchroblogging competition, Public Library of Science blog, December 9, 2008.

PLoS ONE turns two this December. For our community celebration we're going to run our second synchroblogging competition. ... This time, we've partnered up with our friends at researchblogging.org, the site that aggregates blogs about peer-reviewed research, to create this competition.

... On December 18, 2008, blog about a PLoS ONE paper past or present and use the icon provided by researchblogging.org so the link to your post appears on their site ...

We've assembled a small team of judges who will review all these posts and vote on a winner. They will be looking for well organized posts from qualified individuals that set the research in broader context and add to the debate around the paper by posing questions on it. ...

The winning post will have their entry cross posted on the PLoS ONE Blog and A Blog Around the Clock. They will also receive a bag of swag that includes: the new PLoS Water bottle (H2go brand) and a couple of cool PLoS t-shirts. ...
