Nature has launched a new companion weblog for it's Nature Genetics journal. The blog is called Free Association. I see this as a significant move for Nature and science publications in general.
Although I have experience my usual irony in seeing these types of technologies (blogs, RSS etc.) being adopted in science. The irony being that the science community is always behind when it comes to the cutting edge of communications technology developed on the web. Or maybe it is just more science infotainment. I suspect not given that the added commentary might be a good way to keep up on Nature's advance online publications.
