> Dear all,

> I'm a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, where I recently finished  
> my Ph.D
> on the philosophy of perception.
>
> With people from Stanford and Cambridge University, I've launched a  
> website,
> www.academia.edu, which does two things:
>
> - It shows researchers around the world in a 'tree' format, displaying
> which institution/department they are affiliated with.
> - It enables researchers and academics to keep track of the latest
> developments in their field - the latest people, papers, and talks.
>
> We're hoping that Academia.edu will eventually list every academic  
> in the
> world -- Faculty members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students. People  
> can add
> their departments, and themselves, to the tree by clicking on the  
> arrows.
>
> The site is getting some traction. Over 5,000 academics have joined
> Academia.edu in the last two months. Some professors on the site  
> include:
>
> - Richard Dawkins -  http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardDawkins
> - Stephen Hawking -  http://cambridge.academia.edu/StephenHawking
> - Paul Krugman - http://princeton.academia.edu/PaulKrugman
> - Noam Chomsky -  http://mit.academia.edu/NoamChomsky
>
> We're trying to let as many academics as possible know about  
> Academia.edu.
> It would be terrific if you could visit the site, and add yourself  
> to your
> department on the tree. If your department/university is not there,  
> you can
> add it/them by clicking on the arrows coming out of the
> department/university boxes.
>
> And do spread the word to your friends and colleagues if you can.
>
> Many thanks,
