The model for disseminating web content is evolving. People curious to learn more about these trends packed a room at the National Press Club in Washington on September 16 to discuss the challenges and successes of content syndication.

is an invitation into the marvelous, messy world of the Internet as a participatory, interactive community: a community created by its users. The very first seeds of content and conversation have started and much more will happen along the way leading up to the April, 2006 f-2-f conference. This site, and the Net??

Unlike Superstruct , which employed a very open-ended collaborative framework to invite people to imagine their circumstances in 2019 relative to several provocative scenarios, Signtific is a more focused, tight experience, both in content and format. In other words, a new kind of talkback board or participatory educational program.

Usually, the institution wants to maintain some control--whether over where the content comes from or how it is selected and organized. In this way, Click is a powerful example of the "venue as content platform" definition of 2.0. We are just providing the container, the mechanism so it can function. They kept the interface simple.

This case full of real people's handwritten signatures is reminscient of the haunting pile of Holocaust prisoners' shoes in the permanent exhibition, providing a hopeful complement to that devastating set of artifacts. The table had no comparable physical analog to help people understand how to connect their cards to the multimedia content.

Imagine that your museum is ready to start creating content on a small-scale in Web 2.0. You're ready to write commentary about content related to your institutional goals. efforts than you can if you focus on creating your own little world of content. You're ready to make a few videos to post on YouTube. Where should you start?

I believe that focusing specifically on the social capacity of an object, rather than its content or interpretation, yields new design techniques for museum exhibits and other participatory spaces. I want to aggregate all the data, synthesize it and share it. More data means more interesting, nuanced conclusions for everyone.

People who engage deeply in any online community, whether a bulletin board or social networking site, want to meet in person. Again, hundreds of mostly young people shot hundreds of videos and photos featuring or on location at the museum. To some people, these events may sound like losers. That's not part of our mission!

While there, I was lucky to get to experience a highly participatory exhibition that the MIA mounts once a decade: Foot in the Door. By limiting artworks by size alone, Foot in the Door is open to a huge range of content and media. The diversity of content promotes comfortable dialogue about preferences.

The hierarchy comprises five levels, shown above, from passive consumption of content (level one) to collective social engagement (level five). At level three, the visitor is polled about the issue and sees her result compared to the cumulative aggregate. People stayed through several topics, many as long as ten minutes.

Pre-Netflix, there was never a history of people giving something "four stars" when they dropped it in the return slot. Rating content from one to five stars may seem like a frivolous activity, but for Netflix, it's serious business. This implicit promise is also the key to why people willingly rate hundreds of movies on Netflix.

For example, in Bloom’s taxonomy of Educational Objectives, knowledge and comprehension of content comes before application. After all, you don’t have to have great content to get to a networked, social experience ( Twitter certainly proves that fact). COLLECTIVE ACTION (How much do people work together?)

And people aren't just thinking about this stuff; many museums have taken real, exciting action in the last year. But enough of these experiences have convinced me that the participatory museum is not a fringe concept.

You can explore the project wiki where we coordinated the exhibit, including the project overview , our six-week plan to get it all done, and individual sections for development of concept , content , interaction , graphics , marketing , fabrication , installation , and evaluation. They were roped to very specific locations and activities.

People went to check it out, but no one added their own demos. The participatory "ask" is high--to create original content. Wikis don't explicitly acknowledge individuals with "profile power"--content is prioritized, not identity. Wikis work best in situations in which content, not socializing, is primary.
