I think there’s huge potential for organizations to use multiple mediums, content, and locations to help document and advocate for the change they want in their communities and around the world. Museums, tour groups, and history societies could all make use of Historypin for sharing tours and routes, complete with images and stories.

Every few months, a major news outlet does an "expose" about data collection on museum visitors.

I've now been the Director of The Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz for two months.
