MicrobiologyBytes

I publish MicrobiologyBytes as an easy way for you to stay up to date with the latest news from the field of microbiology. The concept has always been to publish bitesize microbiology chunks on easy to consume sticks for today’s busy lifestyle. The devious part is that over a period of time, this mosaic is intended to build up into a comprehensive overview of contemporary microbiology. Clever, huh?

In spite of that, I don’t expect you to have to schlep all the way over here to read my daily words of wisdom (although if you do, you get the extra goodies such as all the sidebar treats). We’ve always published an RSS feed which you can read in any feed reader of your choice (check out the link for lots of suggestions), but we’re also on Twitter, Friendfeed and even on your cell phone. If you want, you can read the content without leaving the comfort of Facebook.

We’ve been going for nearly three years, but in November 2009, something interesting happened. For the first time, more people learned about the lastest news in microbiology through these other routes than by visiting the site. Do I care? No, I’m delighted that more people than ever are reading about microbiology. Spread the word!

Best wishes for 2010, and keep reading – wherever you chose to do it.
