the blog phenomenon hits pathology :)

From Brian Moore, Clinical Assistant Professor in Pathology and Neurology at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, comes this article, published in Advanced Anatomic Pathology: The Blog Phenomenon Hits Pathology The Blog Phenomenon hits Pathology.

Blogging has become a widespread phenomenon in cyberspace, operating within a network of writers and readers that has come to be known as the ‘‘blogosphere.’’  Pathology has not been immune to the allure of the blog, and has served as a creative and interactive outlet for pathologists around the world.

One of my favorite pathology blogs is published by Ole Eichhorn, Chief Technical Officer of Aperio Technologies, a digital pathology company in San Diego.  Eichhorn’s blog, The Daily Scan (blog.aperio.com), covers news and offers opinions about pathology, technology, and the interface between the two.

Very cool, a published paper about blogging; thanks Brian!

I remember in the early days of the Internet, about 1994, that Jamie Zawinsky said "we'll know the internet has arrived when articles are written about the web, instead of the web indexing articles".  We could say the same about blogging today :)

I'm glad to be able to publicize the utility of blogging in the practice of pathology, and the quality of "The Daily Scan" blog in particular. By the way, my own blog (http://neuropathologyblog.blogspot.com) has just been featured on the College of American Pathologists Transformation of the Specialty website (http://www.cap.org/apps/docs/membership/transformation/real_stories.html).
Best regards,
