•Network size issues

•Barriers to entry

•Not enough time

•Too many ‘me too’ sites

•Fear of being ‘scooped’

How do Ijustify this?

• Open call for participants on Blog

• Collaborative writing on GoogleDocs.

• Concept to submitted proposal in five dayshttp://blog.openwetware.org/scienceintheopen/

How do I do this?

Science is social

Scientists are not (necessarily) social

Web 2.0 fundamentally relies on openness

Without a change in culture and rewards the benefits of Web 2.0 will not be realised
