I dusted off my twitter account for this when they asked me for one and I'm glad I did. But I'm not sure I think # of twitter followers would necessarily be a useful criterion... and thankfully for us it wasn't of concern :).Melissa Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10509703821404341915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522311.post-52954883136400678522011-11-03T18:05:28.276-04:002011-11-03T18:05:28.276-04:00Yeah, I agree.

I also remembered this when I revisited Tideliar's post about this from last year. <br /><br />I am glad to see some repeat performances, and that some of the bloggers who started their blogs for SfN 2010 have continued to be consistent bloggers.<br /><br />I like continuity. I like people who build track records.<br /><br />That’s why I’m most interested in the reasoning for giving the big official seal of approval for blogs that didn't exist until days before the meeting. (Even if the <i>bloggers</i>, as Drugmonkey rightfully pointed out on Twitter, have been writing elsewhere, possibly under a different name.)Zen Faulkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811309183398223358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522311.post-54771949564384003812011-11-03T13:58:52.285-04:002011-11-03T13:58:52.285-04:00Dude, looks like you have a short memory.
