The Internet makes it possible to link a dispersed community of common interest. Now there are a number of blogs that focus entirely or in part on Statistics, but they seem not to be well connected. So I've just set up a social bookmarking website just for applied statistics, data analysis, and visualization. It's called StatLinks . It lists links that users submit, and allows other users to vote on their relevance. Links are listed in order of popularity (or in chronological order, if you prefer). I encourage people to visit StatLinks , to submit links that are likely to be of interest, and to pass the word ! I've put a few links in to get things started. (Hat tip to Slinkset whose technology made it a breeze to set this up.)

Over at Adventures in Ethics and Science there's a very interesting post and follow-up comments on whether researchers should share data . It's based on a recent New York Times article by biostatistician Andrew Vickers ( Cancer Data? Sorry, can't have it ).
