@anongoodnurse Hey I missed you.. Where did you disappear ;)

@WYSIWYG I went on a vacation. :D It's still cold in my part of the US, so we went somewhere warm (St. John in the Caribbean.) I love snorkeling coral reefs, and it's easy to get to.

Did I miss much? ;)

(Thanks for asking, though!)

@WYSIWYG By the way, how is your work going?

@WYSIWYG About F1000; basically a system of post-publication review to highlight "good" papers, by a selected group of experts/leaders in the field. I haven't used it much for discovery myself yet, but have noticed a couple of papers partly because they were reviewed there.

A think single recommendations aren't worth that much, since they basically only mean that somebody liked the paper and bothered to write a short comment on it. Several recommendations are probably more telling. However, I also think that the site runs the risk of mutual back-scratching.

Oh, and I was referring to their original product F1000 Prime. They have also started a service where you can upload posters (F1000 posters) and an open journal (F1000 Research), which functions (if I remember correctly) both as a preprint server and an open peer-review system, so that all review comments and responses are accessable to readers.
