Blogger peer review

I like this phrase from the Wall Street Journal.
Unlike Watergate, Climategate didn't come to light because investigative journalists ferreted out the truth. Instead, this story so far has played itself out largely on blogs, often run by the same scientists who had a hard time getting printed in the scientific journals. Climategate has provided a voice to the scientists who had been frozen out of the debate.
Blogger peer review vs. scientist peer review. Bring it on.
