Academia.edu

http://www.academia.edu/

Something rather different from the usual posts. This website is a new idea from Dr Richard Price. I've copied his entire email below. I hope that it succeeds:

I'm a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, where I recently finished my Ph.D on the philosophy of perception.

I've just launched a website, www.academia.edu, which does two things:

- It displays academics around the world in a 'tree diagram' format, according to which university/department they are affiliated with.
- It enables academics to keep track of the latest developments in their field - the latest people, papers, and talks.

My hope is that the site will list every academic in the world -- Faculty members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students.

The site is getting some traction. Some of the professors on the site include:

- Richard Dawkins - http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardDawkins
- Stephen Hawking - http://cambridge.academia.edu/StephenHawking
- Paul Krugman - http://princeton.academia.edu/PaulKrugman
- Noam Chomsky - http://mit.academia.edu/NoamChomsky

I'm trying to spread the word about www.academia.edu. If you have a minute, please visit the site, and add yourself to your department on the tree. If your department/university is not there, you can add it/them by clicking on the arrows coming out of the department/university boxes.

And do spread the word to your friends and colleagues if you can.

Many thanks,

Richard
