    I’ve long though that RePEc should adopt more social network features, including graphs of co-authors and PhD advisors.

    Facebook does this, but not very seriously.

    I much prefer http://www.linkedin.com while http://www.academia.edu/ seems to be the promising new kid on the block.

    Alternatively, we could move in and take over
    http://scientists.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. It’s new and unformed, but the technology behind it is superb.

    Richard, there is currently a project going for co-authors. In fact, it has been ready for years but required hosting and some computing power for regular updates, and it seems we may have recently found a solution. You will hear about it when it is ready.

    …and for those that are at Facebook, they can also “follow” this blog!
