Happy New Year!

It’s been slow here, but philosophy resume in the very near future. Until then, I thought it would be nice to post the top stories from 2008 over at Sympoze.

Top 9 Sympoze Posts in 2008

  1. Tips for Publishing as a Graduate Student
  2. Excursus: Philosophy Feeds
  3. Fetishes and Russell’s Paradox
  4. Philosophers on Bloggingheads.TV
  5. Logic for Philosophers – Sider
  6. Sharing BibTeX with Mark Kalderon
  7. Philosopher’s Annual 2007 Winner – 10 Best Papers
  8. Thom Brooks Advice on Publishing
  9. Intuition Isn’t Unreliable

You can check out all of top posts here from last year here.

For those of you unfamiliar with Sympoze…It’s a social bookmarking site that I’ve created for philosophers. And it is a fantastic way to find out what philosophy on the internet might be worth your time. If you’re not familiar with Sympoze or social bookmarking you can read more about it here.

Sympoze is less than six months old, and so far we have over 80 philosophers signed up.

If you’re a philosopher and you don’t have a Sympoze account – email me
and I’ll set it up. If you’re already a Sympoze user think about
spreading the word to a philosopher who you think might be interested.

P.S…
That external vote button is coming soon. I’ve already seen a working model on another site. It’s a little involved to get it up and running, but soon philosophers will be able to have a vote button automatically embedded in each of their posts on their own blog. And Sympoze users will be able to vote stories up without leaving the blog post they are reading.
