Link: Nature Opens Interactive Newsblog [Preview]

Description:

The British science journal Nature has created a newsblog that is meant to operate as a forum for readers to comment on news@nature.com items published in the online journal. At the bottom of each news article is a link that takes you to the blog, which in fact is a bit of a misnomer since it seems to be little more than an RSS feed of the news articles that happens to be published with Moveable Type. There does not seem to be a link that goes directly from the Nature homepage to the blog, rather it seems that one must go through each news article or a personal bookmark. Readers will be glad to know that the blog and stories are accessible without a subscription. Note, however, that the blog only covers news items written by the Nature staff, not other items such as peer-reviewed articles or letters written by contributing scientists - but perhaps that is not too far away.
