Add the Public Library of Science (PLoS), and Public Library of Science
One (PLoSOne...in beta) to the list as well.  PLoSOne is actually quite
interesting.

I'm reproducing here the text of a recent; posting on Web4Lib:

" I'd second Robert L. Balliot's suggestion that a successful sci tech-
themed blog should be considered a social networking site, and add to
that Arxiv.org.

http://arxiv.org/

Arxiv may not at first look like a social networking site, but the
process of endorsements and the invitation for peer review and
discussion (including via trackbacks) give it the necessary features.

http://arxiv.org/help/trackback

It may not quite be Flickr for the hard sciences, but it's an inspiring
example of how academic publishing is changing.

Are you aware of Connotea <http://www.connotea.org/>?  This works a lot
like
del.icio.us, but with some additional features for scientists
(recognizing
additional metadata for stored links), and a focus on the scientific
community (it is associated with Nature Publishing Group).  You can
create
groups, and see what other people are tagging.
