I am putting the finishing touches on another social media lab designed for arts organizations. I had too look no further than Shelley Bernstein's blog over at the Brooklyn Museum to find some thoughtful experimentation and useful examples. In addition, the Museum has taken those tips and created a mashup with the YELP api.
