For another tool to make blogs more useful for scholarship, see Hewlett-Packard's Semantic Blogging for Bibliography Management. From the web site: "Semantic blogging exploits [the] personal publishing, syndication, aggregation and subscription model [used in existing blogging] but applies it to structured items with richer metadata data. The metadata would include classification of the items into one or more topic ontologies, semantic links between items ("supports", "refutes", "extends" etc.) as well as less formal annotations and ratings." The result is a superior blogging platform for content discovery, cross-linking, aggregation, selection, and integration with other sources and applications. (Thanks to Leigh Dodds.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
