Ologeez Wants To Make Finding Research Articles Easier

I still have a forwarding .edu alumnus account from my Ph.D., so I should soon have an Ologeez account, but my school batch forwards emails every few hours, so I haven't actually seen the site, so I'm going by techcrunch's description.

I always thought that the process of research comes to an abrupt end with publication. Allowing an archived discussion after publication seems like a good idea. During my research, I would often hear about great papers in obscure journals from other students. Or even horrible papers in great journals that had results that were to be ignored. Even descriptions like, "hey this paper is about X, but it has a great analysis of Y" were extremely helpful. Capturing this information could be very valuable to the community.

Although, I don't know if Amazon-style product reviews are the best way to record peoples thoughts about research papers. I think that some sort of Reddit/HN approach might be better. At least I find HN discussions to be much more valuable than Amazon-type reviews. The problem with HN discussions in Olgeez's context is that most posts occur in a very small time duration of less than a day. A research paper might not get a critical mass of comments for weeks or months or even years after its publication, which may hurt the voting/discussion process.

Holy crap. I tried that stupid captcha 15 times and it said I failed each time.

Whatever, I go to art school anyway.

looks a lot like citeulike.org
