It seems that it was just time for ecologists to start blogging. We have recently come across two other ecology blogs: Ecotone (the official ESA News & Views blog) which has been kicking out a respectable 4-5 posts/week on a combination of interesting papers and policy. and The EEB and flow which looks a fair bit like NCEAS circa 2007 and was started because I think EEB and flow has this one right.

I saw the first two paragraphs of this quote from an interview of Hal Varian by The McKinsey Quarterly over at Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science.
