Blogging a threat to an academic career?

First Sean, and now Juan Cole having their academic careers affected by writing a blog?

I notice that you don't identify yourself or your institution, so clearly you've given some thought to possible impacts of blogging on your own career. You must intend to dish dirt, eh? I opted for non-anonymity, mostly because I figured I wouldn't have any really good gossip worth telling.

It's not that I want to dish dirt. Mostly I just want to vent. And I want to warn/inform younger physicists (the old "I wish someone had told me..."). I've got tenure, so the big stresses are continued funding, invites, better jobs, etc.

Cool. Your motivations sound good to me - like you, there are definitely things I wish people had told me along the way. I was 95% kidding about dishing dirt, though there are certainly moments when I wish I had the nerve to write a physicist version of Kitchen Confidential.

The site has not caused widespread searches, more sbobet กีฬา than ever before, making the web as a whole came out very well.
