review 1: Clear-eyed, provocative look at the state of culture of scientific research and how it can be reformed with the aid of collaborative technology and the willingness on the part of scientists to embrace a new mindset of openness and transparency in scientific work. As a technologist, and a science-fanboy, it brings together two of my greatest aspirations and kindles a wildfire in my mind. Absolutely loved it!
review 2: Eh, well, it was *OK*. I found the yay Internet! breathlessness a bit annoying (OMG this is going to change the way we do science!). But it was useful for me to learn about initiatives like the Polymath project and the Galaxy Zoo; and it was interesting to hear the thinking about where and where this sort of massive collaboration could work (and ... morewhere it might fail). The notion of a shared praxis is one potentially useful takeaway. Some hopeful notes for the future, nothing too surprising if you're already steeped in digital culture and if things like open access journals are already an obvious good thing. less
