Gone Drivin’
It’s been a great week, and a great couple of months, here at Neuroworld. We’ve had probably our best five-day traffic yet. We’ve passed 300 posts in the short time this blog has existed. We’ve passed 500 comments (thanks to all our committed readers and commenters!). And we’ve adopted the word “we” despite the fact that it’s just me… for no reason at all.
I’m going to be out for the next 10 days driving around the American West with the lovely wife. I might check in from time-to-time, but I’ll be leaving you in the hands of just an awesome guest blogger: David DiSalvo, author of one of my favorite neuro blogs, Neuronarrative.
When you’re not reading Neuroworld (and refreshing again and again to boost True/Slant’s pageviews), you ought to be reading Neuronarrative, which does a fantastic job of making neuroscience understandable and entertaining — and which runs a lot of great interviews with leading scientists. If you’ve ever clicked on items from the Neuro News Nanos, you’ve probably ended up at David’s blog.
So, welcome (and thanks) to David. Make him feel at home.

Ryan,
Have a great time. You will be missed. I check your page all the time. I do look forward David’s contributions.
Shame you didn’t get that new iPhone and we could see video from the road. Wanna borrow my Blackberry?
Have a great trip Ryan.
And btw speaking of refreshing pages when the hell are the powers that be around going enable subscribing to threads by email? Hey folks this is a no brainer, you’ve been an up and running for 6 months now.
I agree Brian. It would be much more of a communal feel. How about a way to mark updates read on the little update counter. Through the course of a day, I read the beginning of the same article 3 times, because I couldn’t remember that I already read it. I realize this is a newish site, but it is not that new. This is so 2003 people.
iskid I was told (not by Ryan) that when they went from alpha to beta email subscription would be enabled, obviously it hasn’t. Also was told it would be a more stable platform, and that seems even less so, repeated times through the day I get that “changing the ribbon” msg. I love many of the bloggers here, but the lack of user friendliness and glitches after so many months is really starting to wear thin.
In response to another comment. See in context »Brian and iskid — 6 months?! Sheesh, you’re aging us already! We’re out just over 2 months (we launched our alpha in April, beta earlier this month). There’s more to come…and if you guys know how to work the tech magic you can pitch in and help.

*ducks*
In response to another comment. See in context »Glitches? I have no clue what you are talking about Brian. I have seen the changing the ribbon message once, but I guess I don’t use it as much as you. To give some positive feedback, I’m pleased at how well things load up, and how well the site plays with Google Chrome.
