In contrast, many of the people I work with use visual social media formats as their lead tools for creating, sharing, and consuming information. At our museum, Pinterest is a primary tool for brainstorming and sharing ideas. But what''s awkward for me is actually probably very good for museums. Museums Engaging in 2.0

You can easily create QR Codes for free at sites like qrcode.kaywa.com and qrstuff.com. Linking to a desktop site in a QR Code that is meant to be read on smartphone is not practical. In museum tour materials. Think about it. It’s very difficult to read a 12″ wide website on a 2.5″ ″ wide screen.

The presumed answer is "yes" your museum needs a blog, a pony, or a set of comfy couches. Does your museum need a custom online social network? A social networking site is one in which users connect with one another. Why might a museum create its own social network? exclusivity.

I spend a lot of time talking to people about social media--how it can be a model for real-life content venue interactions and how it can connect museums and cultural institutions to users in new ways. This is the reason that many museums and cultural organizations decided they needed websites in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Instead, I found a standard art museum. Impersonal guards.

I''ve mostly seen museums employ one of two methods for formal community advisors: Create special "spots" on the board of trustees for certain kinds of community representatives. CON: can feel disconnected from the primary governance of the museum or can feel like a second-class board overall. I struggle with both these options.

You may have also seen QR codes when travelling and visiting tourist spots such as museums, walking tours, etc. They are commonly used now on billboards at bus stops that advertise a movie or consumer product. So, should nonprofits be experimenting with QR codes as another marketing vehicle too? Absolutely.
