VoiceThread is an interesting free and premium (user-pay) service that lets users comment on videos, documents or images. I came across it in the April 02009 issue of the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) Newsletter where there is a link to its use by the Yukon Historical and Museums Association. They are "posting digital copies of photographs at Yukon Archives online using the Voicethread technology. With Voicethread anyone can post text, audio, or video comments on the photographs. It's part information gathering, part story telling, and part community commentary."

His Ten Thousand Year Blog was hosted by WordPress.com between October 02008 and August 7, 02010. The photograph in the header was taken on May 22, 02009 at the Kew Gardens Tube station following a visit to the National Archives, England.
