It's getting to the point where most researchers I know use things like Facebook and Twitter all the time, because their fields move so fast they need to keep a daily tab on the latest happenings, and that necessitates blogs and social networks.
As the previous author said, the peer review system prevents rubbish from being published. But it seems that social networks have their own sort of weeding-out process for insubstantial or derivative work. This is being refined as I write, so that now original research can be published instantly, the proper credit can be accorded (after all, social networks have time and date stamps!) and collaborations across the globe can be formed immediately.

Management at Middlesex University have shamefully decided to cut all philosophy programs, including the internationally renowned MA and PhD degrees. This essentially means the end of the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, a hub for internationally renowned scholarship and the best RAE rated research department in the University. This act of wilful self-harm by the University must be resisted.

Go to the PRS, Leeds, page: "e-Learning in Dialogue" and read the papers and abstracts presented at the York Conference on e-Learning in PRS. There you will read how the academic dialogue, facilitated through e-learning, not only can improve teaching but also research. The link is here: http://prs.heacademy.ac.uk/projects/elearning/elearning_in_dialogue.html
