Comment Re:Want a job? Get on LinkedIn (Score 0) 474

I know many people for whom LinkedIn was important in getting a new job.

Linkedin won't get you a job. But it might improve your chances of connecting with people who can refer you to jobs. You have to use it as part of a strategy that includes more than Linkedin especially if you are in a professional field. (I address this topic here: http://www.ddmcd.com/basics.html )

Comment Sometimes They Are Obsolete (Score 0) 317

Scientific journals have been obsolete since they were invented in the 17th Century. They force people to create fixed units of information (on print or digital paper) that immediately become out of date and which can no longer reflect the current thinking of the author or the author's readers.

The processes by which these "pages" of information (and increasingly, the supporting data) are created, distributed, reviewed, and consumed, however, continue to evolve. That's what keeps this complex system of creativity, peer review, communication, education, quality control, scientific socialization, and information dissemination alive.
