Nature Editorial on Blogging

Check out the editorial appearing in this week's Nature, discussing blogging about articles before they are published. Take home message -- go ahead, but watch don't give away too much...
Then go and engage in the discussion on Nature's forum. Guess since this a blog post and not the mass email I had started, I better go share an opinion. Sounds like Nature is taking a cautious approach to authors engaging in blogging -- they talk about the advantage of all work being peer reviewed before being public, but the embargo goes beyond the point when it has been peer reviewed and accepted, but still not published. The justification for this is unclear.
