I was particularly interested in examples using blogs, Twitter, Flickr, Youtube, and Facebook. The Museum solicited photographs from artists via an open call on their website, Facebook group, Flickr groups, and outreach to Brooklyn-based arts organizations. How much fun did you have striking the set over the weekend?

Larry told me about the what they learned from the results: - Our blog brought in traffic, we thought it was just fun to. you won't get it unless you were a music conservatory student like me.

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. Give away the fun (and easy) part. But it wasn't all rosy, and we weren't perfect.

I want in-person museum experiences to be more like experiences on social sites like Flickr, where strangers connect and form relationships around content. Imagine a music store where each CD lists the names of the last 20 people to pick it up, and what those people ultimately bought. Why should the staff have all the fun in this way?

Make it personal, maybe you just saw them in the gym, make a fun note about that, I mean, or around town, or wherever it might be. And then once in a while, we put together a Flickr album, and we send it to them with music behind it and a thank-you. So that was really fun to see. Or they were in the paper.

I was pretty doubtful about the general usefulness of content-less social networking sites (as distinct from those that are content-driven, like flickr and del.icio.us ) but it seems that Facebook is becoming a platform, and has ceased to become simply a social networking site.

Thing is, once you have paid the admin, the cash value of the flickr ‘donation’ barely makes it worthwhile – even for the 5 account max per charity. Totally agree with the flickr one. I treat myself to a 10 minute slot along with a coffee mid-morning for a ‘flickr’ break. I agree regarding music.

Tumblr, which was recently acquired by Yahoo, is an up and coming social media site where people share text, photos, links, music, and videos from whatever device they’re on. The company is so controversial that the comments are often more fun to read than the main articles on it in the IT press. Tumblr is rising fast as well.
