How can you make your museum website more effective in driving traffic and raising awareness of your institution? But there is a simpler, more impactful way for museum websites to become more visible, cited, and visited in the online landscape. Museums are creating “walled gardens,” and it hurts online visibility and impact.

Many museums are experimenting with “back channel” platforms that allow visitors and staff to chat and share content while onsite at the museum. It felt like something we could use at my museum as a step to get people more comfortable with Twitter and other back channels.” The back channel isn’t just a social space.

Here's the basic idea: while you are at the museum, you save digitizable content--either content you make (photos of yourself) or content you collect (museum-supplied text or media of interest). The personal webpage has many adherents, and some institutions, like The Tech Museum in San Jose, have been offering them for almost a decade.

Every time a colleague tells me her museum has just hired a "community person," a part of me cringes.

Every museum has a number for its operating cost per visitor. Most museums don't strategically set this number--too many operating costs are fixed by building needs--but they can use it to assess how expensive each visitor interaction is and evaluate the efficacy of programs. So where do online initiatives fit in?
