The recent PepsiGate scandal, which I haven’t blogged about because, well, it doesn’t really concern me, has claimed another well known ScienceBlogs blogger. Bora Zivkovic, from A Blog Around The Clock, has just announced that he’s leaving the influential science blogging website.
The fact that he’s leaving is sad, and it may spell the beginning of the end for ScienceBlogs’s empire, but in and of itself it’s not especially interesting: after all, people have been leaving ScienceBlogs for weeks now. No, the thing that is interesting about Bora’s case is what he left the science blogging community as a parting gift – an epic blog post about the history of ScienceBlogs and science blogging in general.
It’s, wow, it’s truly incredible. I highly recommend that you read it.
Bora’s not finished with blogging, however. He’ll be back to his old tricks on his WordPress.com site, Science in the Triangle and everyONE. I wish him well in his new blogging ventures.
