If it were not for MySpace, my professional life no doubt would be much less fulfilling. Young, old, poor, rich, conservative, liberal, urban, rural, black, white, brown, red, yellow, gay, straight, preps, goths, rappers, artists, hippies, yuppies… you name it. They are all on MySpace. MySpacers are incredibly loyal.

blog has been going for almost five years now, and I''ve seen people''s concerns and questions evolve over that time in the following way: For the first couple of years--2006-2007--most of the questions were about the "why" of participation. A lot of these projects are about getting people to be more social and active in museums.
