Some new blogs have appeared on my radar. One is the Spinneret. It is not so much a blog, perhaps, as a news magazine and resource nexus. You can leave comments attached to the post just like a blog, but the writer is reporting chemistry related news.
ChemSpy.com collects news feeds from popular chemistry sources. The subtitle says “The internet navigator for the chemical industry”. Check out the library of tutorials.
Over at Depth First, the writer offers a great tip on finding structures from CASRN’s for free. Cruise around the site. There is a lot of interesting work happening in the Chemical Informatics field.
Reactive Reports labels itself as a Chemistry WebMagazine, and that certainly seems to be what it is. It takes a fairly large amount of effort to produce such a thing. Looks like they have enough visitors to attract a sponsor.
Lamentations on Chemistry 
Hi
Thanks for linking to my chem blogs. While Spinneret is definitely new this year, ChemSpy and Reactive Reports have been around for more than half a decade. Indeed, I’m almost finished working on Issue 68 of the monthly Reactive Reports update and yes, we get some decent traffic, so anyone wishing to discuss sponsorship is most welcome to get in touch.
Meanwhile, my Sciencebase.com site (first registered in 1999), but which started out on a different server in May 1996(!) as Elemental Discoveries, one of the first spin offs from a print publication, could lay claim to being the first chemistry blog in the world. I’d be interested to hear from anyone with contrary evidence.

Hi, I guess I should have said that some new blogs have appeared on MY radar. I made the correction. Sorry to infer that you were new.
Hey, not a problem in the slightest…just keeping the record straight 😉
Good job, by the way, I like the idea of a “Scientist Political” as opposed to the inverse…
Meanwhile, you can grab just the chem sub-category of my main site here http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/category/chemistry
Thanks again
