twittering

Despite I am convinced twittering is almost useless and is going to be a horrible waste of time for me, I could not resists and just created my own twitter account.

Most probably I will rarely use it and will send useless comments like : 'SensorML sucks' and 'another boring meeting' or 'I hate standards'. But if you'd like to follow visit:

Iranian geoblogs

As a student I had the opportunity to visit Iran during a university field trip. Since then I feel a lot of sympathy for the people of this beautiful country - not for everybody there of course..
I was wondering if there are any Iranian geoblogs out there and indeed there are some!
Blogfa.com , is something like the persian blogger.com and I experimented with some links such as http://geology.blogfa.com and success.. I found: paleo.blogfa.com, petrology.blogfa.com and there surely are more.
Interestingly, Google Translate now also supports translation fromFarsi, so if you are interested to see what Iranian geobloggers write you don't have to learn Farsi;)

Stratigraphically filtered Geoblogosphere news feeds

I have added a nice new feature to Geoblogosphere News:
You can now subscribe to stratigraphically filtered news feeds. For example if you are only interested in blog posts treating the Cretaceous, subscribe to:

http://geoblogs.stratigraphy.net/feed.php?format=atom&age=Cretaceous

Just change the age parameter if you wish to apply other filters e.g. Triassic etc..
