The site, in 2006

An invitation-only network of science blogs, written by working scientists, doctors, students and professional writers.

Seed Media Group started it in 2006 to improve public understanding of science. Each blog had its own theme and no editorial control. It shut at the end of October 2017.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
