I think Twitter Journal Club is an incremental change in the way the scientists and physicians communicate. It is a good idea but limited by the medium of Twitter.
Does anybody have plans for a Journal Club on the newly-launched Google Plus? It is the fastest growing social network in history (25 million members in month) and it seems like a natural platform for that.
Arin Basu - Google + is a very natural medium for hosting journal clubs or say even grand rounds! I am more than happy to start giving it a shot!
Ves Dimov - We first tried Journal Club on Twitter in 2008 but didn't like it that much:
This 2011 version is "Twitter-only" (with a blog that provides some background) but can't go beyond the natural limitations of the medium.
Google+ seems like a better fit for a more involved discussion with a richer background. And you can actually follow the conversation...
