Our vision is to create something like a "Last.fm for Research" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzJbrA9EY7A) where the network eventually emerges based on the usage data and less on already existing relationships - I've taken from your "About" page that you are interested in Last.fm and trends in academic publishing, so let me know what you think. You can either write me directly or leave a comment at http://feedback.mendeley.com. Thanks Jan (jan.reichelt@mendeley.com) Hi Cornelius,
