Twitter
For those who would like to keep up to date with important Egyptology news stories as they happen, I now post the most important news items as they come in, to my Twitter account. There are no book or exhibition reviews, and any minor items are excluded, but any breaking news items will be posted on Twitter (and then repeated here on the blog itself when I update it, which is usually on a Saturday or Sunday). I also retweet related items from other Twitter accounts. It does make for some duplication, and there's more content about conferences, digital archaeology and museum work. It may not suit everyone but if you're interested see: http://twitter.com/egyptologynews
