Hi Jon,
On the Wiki side, Sage Ross (Yale) is very actively and successfully
promoting history of science on Wikipedia.
On the blog side:
Sage has several blogs, including Sage 2.02, which is mainly about HoS:
http://ragesossscholar.blogspot.com/.
Our department has a fairly active blog (Biomedicine on Display,
http://www.corporeality.net/museion) with approx. 4000 visitors a month,
frequent comments and lots of incoming links.
There is also News and Views: The History of Science in America
http://americanscience.blogspot.com/, which is updated rather irregularly
though.
All the best,
Thomas

Subject: History of Science 2.0
mersenne -
Couple of developments that have caught my eye:
1) Three facebook groups (all can be found by searching groups):
BSHS (British Society for the History of Science)
History and Philosophy of Science, Medicine, and Technology (student group)
STS (Science and Technology in Society)
2) Plus, Simon Schaffer and Alan Macfarlane have made youtube films on the
history of the Cavendish:

History of science 2.0 has clearly arrived!
Anyone know any other similar things?
cheers,
Jon
