[FRIAM] ​Academia.edu​

[Russell Standish]

I think I'm on both RG and Academia, since I get emails from both, but
haven't really found their value add yet, over and above using arXiv for
publishing preprints, and Google Scholar for citation metrics.

Like most social networks, they integrate very poorly with email
(by actively discouraging participation by email), effectively rendering
them invisible to me. I have a hard enough time as it is keeping up
with email, so there's nothing left over to go monitoring any social
network site.

But I never say never... Even Farcebook might get me one day :).

BTW - anyone still subscribed to comdig via email? I complained to
Carlos when I caught up with him in Mexico City last year that since
comdig went over to LinkedIn, I haven't been able to get the feed, and
he said that the old email list was still running, but I can't seem to
find a way to subscribe to it.
