Who can help being both fascinated and intrigued by the revelation that the same mathematical and scientific principles explaining the evolution of linking on the World Wide Web may also explain the swarming of insects, the schooling of fish, the behavior of subatomic particles, the organization of proteins within cells, and even the organization of neurons within our brains? Who can not be interested when it appears these same mathematical and scientific principles so powerful in marketing may also be our best hope for curing some forms cancer, including breast cancer? Thus, we think Network Science a most appropriate subject for our prototype site demonstrating the advanced realm hosting strategies being refined by Porteasy.net.

Hence, this is the first blog from a new site, NetworkScienceNews.com

NetworkScienceNews.com utilizes a MicroBlog, a Blog, third-party feeds, and a back-end of aggregating and organizing tools in conjunction with cloud realm publishing tools developed by Porteasy.net to create a vibrant and effective hub -- aggregating, organizing, and distributing news and information on the fascinating field of Network Science.

The MicroBlog; a means of instant communication through an effective distribution channel for small units of information, links, and pointers to new publications; is on the left side of the home page of NetworkScienceNews.com. From this roll of ever current information, you can link to see others' comments and access tools to share the micropost (a/k/a “tweet”, “status”, “shout”, etc.) across your own social network realm.

The Blog, the familiar norm for Internet publications, is found in the middle of the NetworkScienceNews.com home page. Here we add a little mental juice of our own in the organization and explanation of Network Science discoveries and happenings. The Blog post are longer as well as more thoughtful and detailed than the microblog posts, of course. From the Blog posts, you can also link to comments and the ability to share the post across your own social network realm.

On the right hand side of the NetworkScienceNews.com home page, you find third-party feeds. Information moves fast and furiously these days and several aggregators play a roll in effective distribution. We search for and incorporate the RSS feeds of other sites and blogs on the subject of Network Science, bringing them together with our posts so that you can find all current info on the subject in one place.

Beyond the NetworkScienceNews.com site itself, the information we aggregate is then distributed across a social networking realm specifically charted for the subject matter. You can also find our information posted on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and most all of the other prominent social networks. You can also grab our information through our RSS feed and organize in your own aggregation system (be that my.yahoo, iGoogle, your own feed reader, or your own aggregation site).

discuss and share away with other Network Science enthusiasts. Help us keep the informatin moving!
