As a person who works for a science museum, I work in an environment that supports play.

Last month, the Christian Science Monitor published an article entitled, "Museums' new mantra: Connect with community." It took me a couple weeks (and various museum blog responses ) to realize what bugs me about this article--it treats "connecting with community" as a marketing ploy, a "mantra" rather than a mission.

When people ask about blogging, the question of comments comes up more frequently than any other. Why not ask more typical website questions, "why don't more people visit my blog?" or "why don't more people link to my blog?" They demonstrate that the blog is a more participatory vehicle than other kinds of media.

On June 4, we opened The Tech Virtual Test Zone , a new 2000 sq ft gallery at The Tech Museum of Innovation featuring exhibits on the theme of art, film, and music that were originally developed in Second Life by a community of creative amateurs. We inspired a community and got real results. Give away the fun (and easy) part.

When I heard the tollbooth story, I started thinking about gifting as a model for participatory experiences in museums. This post discusses participatory gifting in three parts: the why, the what, and finally, the how. You gift the community a book review, I gift an overlapping community a music review. That may be true.

I'm working on a personal project (slowly) to open a cafe/bar venue that is also a design incubator for participatory exhibits. My goals are two-fold: to develop a dynamic, creative, social platform for my community and to distribute its successful elements to other civic learning institutions (museums, libraries, community centers).

In one case, the institution jumped into the conversation and converted an ugly situation into a positive community outcome. In the other case, the institution was unwilling to engage in the conversational environment and ended up isolated, fueling the fire. Sadly, it was the second story that was about a museum. Let’s start there.

It means seeking out people in their "natural habitat" of the social Web and paying attention to what they are blogging, writing, and saying about your institution. The majority of blog traffic mentioning the Exploratorium in the last month has focused on their coverage of the eclipse and a variety of Second Life initiatives.

The presumed answer is "yes" your museum needs a blog, a pony, or a set of comfy couches. The Brooklyn Museum of Art is a great example of a museum really embracing these environments for community-building purposes. Usually, when I start posts with a question in the title, it's a cheat. In this case, it's debatable.

In many museums, comment cards are currently the most "participatory" part of the visitor experience. These third-party applications provide a ready-made environment for comment cards to become more useful and usable to visitors and staff alike.
