"Social Networks Let Scholars Remix Their Articles"

"Clearly we are well into the sharing, giving season: The number of scholarly social-networking sites is growing monthly. The phrase “it’s kind of like an academic version of Facebook” can now be applied to Pronetos, a new site launched at the end of October, a few weeks after the kickoff of a humanities scholars’ network and about two months after the Espilen Environment and The New York Times’s Knowledge Network combined for another venture into online scholarship exchange.

At Pronetos, scholars “can post work for their peers to comment on, in any discipline. If the discipline does not exist, any user can create it,” writes Chief Executive Chris Blanchard in an e-mail message to The Chronicle."
