New online technologies afford powerful new opportunities to communicate chemistry to students, between scientists and with the public at large. In particular, the versatility of blogs and wikis enables the communication of scientific concepts at levels ranging from the popularization of basic ideas to the details of raw experimental data. The application of these tools to publish real time experimental results and progress in a synthetic organic chemistry laboratory will be described.
