I was particularly interested in examples using blogs, Twitter, Flickr, Youtube, and Facebook. One of the best projects that illustrates the basic idea of Web2.0 - listening and conversation and stakeholders creating their own experience with your organization - comes from the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Everyone is a Curator.

His foundation supports a private museum that is rarely open to the public. While there are many ways for museums to reach new audiences, when it comes to specialized knowledge, it's often a question of reaching the niche who care deeply about German watches from 1822 or the evolutionary shift in raccoon striping over time.

Imagine that your museum is ready to start creating content on a small-scale in Web 2.0. You're ready to make a few videos to post on YouTube. Rather than starting your own blog or YouTube channel, find the sources out there that relate to your topics of interest and respond to them. Where should you start?

Today I got an early present from the San Francisco NPR station, KQED, which aired a piece on Museum 2.0 featuring me (as well as the fabulous Lori Fogarty of the Oakland Museum of California). This concept has spawned a question I like to obsess over: What would a museum look like that got better the more people used it?

Why, Mary asked, were there no posts about children's museums on this site? Why aren't children's museums represented on Museum 2.0? stuff naturally.

Charities outside the US can set up a profile. To generate a robust profile, your organization should be able to plug in existing social media presences (Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, Blog RSS Feed, Etc) so it seems to favor organizations that have already established a social media content strategy.

There are some obvious ties to the role of "community" in museums. Recently, some museums have launched initiatives to rebrand as community spaces, acknowledging and attempting to harness the positive social energy around visitation. Could museums do this? around gameplay. Read the comments. It's a three step process.

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.

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.

In this way, like on YouTube, my actions as a viewer still affect the creator community, because creators are aware of the number of views on their projects.

The next level is to produce your own talk, via profiles on social networking sites, a twitter feed, flickr group, blogs, podcasts, or online video. Many museums have jumped into the middle level—producing their own content—without starting with commenting. Consider the path of the Bay Area Discovery Museum. initiatives.
