Hello,
You should also check this site. It is similar but with different idea. http://www.dnatube.com

I did not have time to look into this in more detail. I suspect that this has something to do with Philip E Bourne. Most of the videos currently available are from his papers, he works at SDSC and is chief editor of PLoS Comp Bio (two of the three supporters of scivee).

Well in fact, I would have actually thought it to be a better idea if PLoS teamed up with JoVE. Then we’d be talkin business.

Anyhow, I think that we should give this some time and see how things roll.

Thanks for your thoughts.

i like SciVee’s idea of combining written publication with video, but i just don’t see scientists submitting these videos on their own. what’s the incentive? the journal of visulized experiments (www.jove.com) has been around for a while, and their content is professionally generated. this tends to make the videos more enjoyable.

Hey! Yes, I know that the targets are quite different and therefore I was actually comparing apples and oranges. My bad.

I’d actually say that it does NOT have a PLoS feeling to it… or at least nothing compared to PLoS One’s beautiful website. My main gripe is actually with the flourescent text links on the white background.

And yes, I should get around to making a screencast or two to put up at Bioscreencasts.com.

Thanks for dropping a line.

I didn’t mind the design actually. Unlike NCBI/RCSB, it’s actually a design. It has a rather “PLoS”-y look and feel to it, so might feel familiar to people. They could do with a little less gloss though.

And since I am here, Bioscreencast.com has a very different goal. It’s very much the playground for any software/web user remotely collected to the life science, an online manual as it were. SciVee’s goals are loftier, in that it is directly related to publications, and you require a camcorder/webcam, rather than just screencapture software.

In other words, you better put up a screencast on Bioscreencast soon (for that matter, I should too) :)
