What role does “promoting human happiness” play in the mission statements and actions of museums? That’s the question I’m pondering thanks to Jane McGonigal and the Center for the Future of Museums (CFM).

There's twittervision , twitter's most popular mashup, which shows tweets (twitter entries) real-time on a global map. No more dealing with one team member on AIM, another on gchat, one who thinks IM services are evil, and the fourth on the museum floor with a cell phone. But how could it be used uniquely for visitors in museums?

Leadership and decision-making come from adoption not from executive authority. If there’s an idea that the community is behind, and a project or plan that’s adopted (whether it’s a new way of operating or a new tool), then it moves forward, regardless of “who” thought it up or campaigned for it.

Several of the projects I'm working on these days relate to the concept of "extending the museum experience." And so when it comes to designing online extensions to the museum experience, we need to apply a different set of expectations from those we use to design onsite experiences.

Radiolab does what I hope all great museum exhibitions can do--take a deep topic and make it compelling on many levels. Which brings me to museums and how we present content. Could you imagine a curator, designer, or museum educator speaking this way about an exhibition? Why is there lots of snow if global warming is happening?
