FB is useful for short updates about how people are going, but not for in-depth discussion of issues such as those you canvass in your blog.<br /><br />Well, I for one hope that you keep blogging because I enjoy it. But I do not know how you keep up all those different blogs - one is hard enough for me sometimes...Legal Eaglehttp://www.skepticlawyer.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-60832387795176968392009-11-08T18:14:48.828+11:002009-11-08T18:14:48.828+11:00Thanks, blowfly aka Ian.

Perhaps not as frequent in posting, or maybe even more structured. <br /><br />I think the only thing I find annoying about microblogging is that it's an awful lot of chatter. <br /><br />Let us know how the application process goes for the honorary associate position!Kananihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317494343177263398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-62841456731183567752009-11-07T13:01:23.796+11:002009-11-07T13:01:23.796+11:00There is no need to apologise Barbara.

This led me to you. <br /><br />Then at an international conference in Shanghai the wife of the international president (Candian) was astonished to discover an Australian who knew about the war of 1812 that she sent me Pierre Berton's book.<br /><br />Then earlier this year I went to Canada. With my interest now roused, I bought a Canadian history and wrote a post on it focused on the earlier period. This led Christopher Moore who wrote the chapter in question to email me. So now his blog is on my list! <br /><br />And in all this I learn. Interesting, isn't it?Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-8788203979617835692009-11-07T11:43:56.796+11:002009-11-07T11:43:56.796+11:00I am sorry to say I have been delinquent in attend...I am sorry to say I have been delinquent in attending your blogs, and then find a nice link to my own blog. Thank you, Jim.<br /><br />My history posts stopped because I began as a contributing writer for Suite101.com to write history articles. There are some history posts to be completed on the War of 1812 which I hope to be able to complete before year end.<br /><br />Jim, your own endeavours are very exciting and I will link into your blogs more often to observe your progress.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-2319238310757372722009-11-07T10:31:43.989+11:002009-11-07T10:31:43.989+11:00I am sure that's right, Neil, and it's an ...I am sure that's right, Neil, and it's an interesting one. There is only so much time for both reading and writing. More time on those two, less blog time. <br /><br />Interesting example is the Wollombi Valley blog. This has stopped in terms of new posts. There is now a community portal combined with twitter.<br /><br />The first provides the substance, the second keeps people in touch. Twitter is actually well suited to a local keeping people in touch role.<br /><br />Facebook has cut out those who simply want to keep in touch with or share thoughts with friends.<br /><br />Where blogs, I think, still come into their own is in the thought area.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-12340400681273016492009-11-07T09:37:21.532+11:002009-11-07T09:37:21.532+11:00I have a feeling that blog readership has been dro...I have a feeling that blog readership has been dropping a bit because of Twitter and Facebook.Neilhttp://neilphoto.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
