Goto page 1, 2  Next          Science Talk Forum Index -> Nanotechnology View previous topic :: View next topic   Author Message Jim Logajan Guest Posted: Wed Sep 19, 2007 1:01 am    Post subject: Who's still reading this group? Hello all, Traffic on this group sure has slowed over the years. It's hard to tell who is still lurking and who has been taken from us mere mortals by early onset of technological singularity. ;-) So please raise your hand if you are still reading this group. Okay - that was nice - now if you could please post that you raised your hand it'd be easier to see how many potential posters and lurkers are still out there.

Are people posting elsewhere, or have they lost interest in nanotechnology altogether? Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Perry E.

Gina Miller's Yahoo group gets about 20 to 30 posts a month: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nanotech/ But you can see that it too has had better days. When that group was seeing a lot of traffic, so was this one. These are the comparable stats for this group: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.nanotech/about There are a few nanotech-specific blogs, but since they are generally set up only to allow people to post comments to articles initiated by the blog owner, they aren't terribly useful to anyone else wishing to initiate a new line of discussion. Blogs I know of along these lines: http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/ http://crnano.typepad.com/crnblog/ http://nanobot.blogspot.com/ Here's a link where a bunch more nanotech-related blogs are linked: http://www.nanotechnews.com/blogs.php If research and development on molecular nanotechnology is accelerating, it obviously has no correlation to quantity or quality of posts to any of the online forums I know about.

I think it's the case that about as much speculation about the possibilities and consequences as is reasonable to do absent any concrete examples has been done. We've had all the "do we need self replicating assemblers" and "What can we do with utility fog" and even "How can we build a food synthesiser" discussions and done them to death. It is sad that very little news seems to be emerging about the extent of progress or lack thereof towards molecular scale manufacturing and the like. The conference you mentioned a while ago about "Launching the Technology Roadmap" sounds encouraging and I for one would love to hear about what emerges from it. Is anyone lurking here attending ? I suspect that what we are seeing is not so much a lack of interest as a lack of people who know what is happening talking about it. -- C:>WIN | Directable Mirror Arrays The computer obeys and wins. | A better way to focus the sun You lose and Bill collects. | licences available see | http://www.sohara.org/ Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Rory McLean Guest Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2007 1:52 am    Post subject: Re: Who's still reading this group?
