I'm gearing up for some conference talks next month, and one of these is part of a very cool session, Eye on Design, at the Western Museums Association conference. On the web, such socializing can happen around games (MMOs), shopping (Amazon discussions), trip planning (TripAdvisor), music or book collections ( Librarything ).

Several artists offer surprising insights into making participatory projects appealing to visitors. Frequently, we get stuck on developing participatory projects or events that serve as many people as possible.
