Alex! It's awesome that you've decided to do this and you have my support! I'm replying to you because I want to pitch you something: I'm running a free open platform for simplified summaries of scientific papers: http://www.sciencegist.com

If you decide to contribute these layman's explanations to Science Gist, I can guarantee you will earn yourself at least one user of the day award :P

Good luck!

I think you need a little quality control on the tags. What's with all the "keyboard mash" tags, ie. ArxicwxQlRqh? http://sciencegist.com/tags

Fixed. Sorry! I had a recent bout with spammers :/ You can add a gist anonymously if you don't like to expose yourself, but having that functionality is quite dangerous online, for obvious reasons. I don't like captchas, but I'll have to add them soon (for anonymous contributions) if this continues.

I was just reading about spambots filtering without captchas, maybe you'll find it interesting too: http://nedbatchelder.com/text/stopbots.html
