Chem-bla-ics - Open Source Chemistry

A blog not getting as much attention as it should is Egon Willighagen’s Chem-bla-ics. The blog focuses on open source chemistry which is relevant for the online chemical world and maybe potentially even the chemical blogosphere as well. http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/

The funny thing about people like Egon, and David Bradley, and even myself is that we have more than one cool website we maintain. Egon also runs a website called Chemical Blogspace: http://wiki.cubic.uni-koeln.de/cb/

The Chemical Blogspace is like a huge feed digest of all the chemistry blogs but way cooler. The really cool fun thing about it is it tracks statistics across the chemical blogosphere: http://wiki.cubic.uni-koeln.de/cb/stats.php?area=blogs

• Who writes the most blogs entries: Sciencebase Science Blog
• Who has the wordiest entries: Canonical chemistry
• Who writes at the highest scientific level: The Half Decent Pharmaceutical Chemistry
• There isn’t a category for most excitable blogger, but I think a certain carbon based curiosity would win that one: http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=11454.0

Go check out the sites! If you know/have a chemistry blog that he hasn’t listed, just drop him an email and he’ll add you.
