Nature launches blogs aggregator

Like a butterfly emerging from the code cocoon of Postgenomic, behold:

http://blogs.nature.com/

When I saw it appear in my FriendFeed I of course thought, ooh, I want to be on there, but then I saw

# composed mostly of original material
# primarily concerned with scientific research
# updated (on average) at least once a fortnight

and thought, hmm, mostly I rant about technology and even that has died down a lot since I moved to mostly tweeting and FriendFeeding.

But nevertheless I discovered that I'm in there under escience, so I'm staking my claim.
