A letter to a non-prominent science blogger

A peculiar piece, What Is The Place Of New Science Bloggers In Today's Science Blogosphere? You can see responses in the comments, as well as Ed Yong at G+. My own perspective is colored by the fact that I've been blogging since April of 2002. In other words, this April I'll probably be blogging for 10 years. A few months ago I mentioned to Randal Parker of FuturePundit, who started blogging in the summer of 2002, that I frankly would have been totally surprised if you'd told me back then that I'd still be "in the game" in 2011. It seemed like a passing hobby (in fact, of the five people who started at "Gene Expression" in June of 2002 three of the four others continue to have a blog or media profile).
