According to a recent article by Laura Bonetta, “Scientists Enter the Blogosphere� (Cell, 2 May 2007), of the 50 million blogs updated regularly, about 1000 actually “provide authoritative opinions about pressing issues in science.� Who has the time to keep up with this incredible source of information and valuable exchange of informed opinions?

There is still too much information out there, but now at least I can catch some of it....Download Full text or try the reviewed sites for yourself (Recommended in bold):

I am not very excellent with English but I line up this really easy to translate.
I was just seeking this info for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your website. I wonder what's the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative web sites in top of the list. Normally the top websites are full of garbage.
