Plan ahead and try out new techniques for online engagement, but don't be afraid to switch direction mid-stream. Help people use the tools you've chosen - don't do it for them, but teach them how to be successful on their own. You'll end up with more solid engagement and higher quality content. Be creative AND flexible.

Without an explicit "I" voice, the museum's perspective on humanity is oblique to say the least.
