Theirspace.com?

The Chronicle has an interesting editorial about how scholarly publishing might be affected by social networking through MySpace or Facebook. Kind of an interesting idea. I wonder how the economics of it might work. Even most open access journals aren't free since somebody has to pay for it (either the author, grant, etc).

Article is at: http://chronicle.com/weekly/v52/i41/41b02001.htm and called Beyond Google: What Next for Publishing by Kate Wittenberg of EPIC (not the privacy people, but apparently the electronic publishing people).
