It might be, that Shanks has "grasped the concepts of participatory media by the horns and seen the possibilities and realities that communicative technologies can provide", but I'm really not impressed with the blog. When you comment on the blog it takes several days for the comment to appear on the post and the author doesn't always respond - although I have also witnessed some quite active participation from the 'collaborators'. There are some nice posts, but the part about fostering a debate... well, it seems to be going at a rather slow pace. Well I have read the entries on archaeolog for the past month or so.

It is excellent. I have been blogging about my historical and archaeological interests for a few months now and I have found it difficult to meet up with like-minded people. So I have added yours to my favourites today. I love history and my aim is to bring history to people who never really think about it. My blog is a large part of this effort. I am also writing historical novels, not published yet, but maybe one day. I am glad to see that there are other historians/archaeologists out there who realise the enormous potential of the internet and web to promote history and archaeology, Kate. http://journals.aol.co.uk/bobandkate/AnAnalysisofLife/ Hi,
