No more dealing with one team member on AIM, another on gchat, one who thinks IM services are evil, and the fourth on the museum floor with a cell phone. But how could it be used uniquely for visitors in museums?

All this delightful non-fiction makes me wonder: why aren't museums great at telling these same kinds of deep, intense stories?
