I recently read an interesting study by my friend Kate Ehrlich at IBM and her colleague Sadat Shami, It is titled, Microblogging Inside and Outside the Workplace and looks at how corporate employees use microblogging tools. This effort conducted a content analysis comparing over 5,000 posts between March and June 2009 from individuals who were using an internal proprietary tool and Twitter simultaneously.  Within these 5,000 plus posts, 58% were done with twitter and 42% were done with the internal tool so there is a reasonable balance for the comparison.

RS combines research tools with social networking applications such as forums, wikis and blogs. The research tools are launched from a custom toolbar embedded into the collaboration application itself and therefore they are easily incorporated into a project's workflow . Essentially these research tool 'plug-ins' provide an additional layer of functionality so that data and digital assets can be searched and edited while engaging in more informal collaboration and communication activity. Conversely, it is the collaboration activity that creates opportunities for more formal data recording.

Auch fuers Brooklyn Museum gilt: weniger ist mehr. As museums look for ways to attract more visitors, social media has become a key tool in drawing people along and engaging them. Some museums are trying to be more creative with social media, but step one is to make use of the main tools. Brooklyn Museum is certainly doing that. It has a main web site, a blog, a Facebook Page, a Twitter presence, a Flickr account, a Tumblr, a Foursquare, and more.

"TAP aims to provide tools to easily create and deliver mobile tour applications in a museum setting. Content creation is performed in the content management system, Drupal.

Ihre Programmhighlights für das kommende Jahr stehen vermutlich schon lange fest. Und sicherlich wissen Sie auch, wie Sie diese - und die vielen anderen Dinge - medial verbreiten. Pressetexte werden geschrieben, Plakate gedruckt und Inserate geschaltet. Unter Umständen wissen Sie auch bereits, wie Sie die Ereignisse im Social Web begleiten. Wenn Sie all Ihre Aktivitäten zusammenführen wollen, dann ist vielleicht der „editorial calendar" von LightBox Collaborative, den ich bei Beth Kanter gefunden habe, genau das richtige Tool für Sie.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The Institute's mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas.

Das ist spannend, weil die Initiative des Instituts of Museum and Liebrary Services, US) sowohl Fallbeispiele integriert als auch ein Dokument publiziert hat zum Thema "21st century skills". Ausserdem wurde ein "self assesment-tool" entworfen. "The tool allows museums and libraries to determine where they fit on the continuum of 21st century skills operations and programming." Und die Seite des Instituts sammelt News und Veranstaltungen zum Thema.

Gut gefällt mir daran, dass hier eben nicht Web2.0-Ziele im Vordergrund stehen, sondern übergeordnete Ziele mit Hilfe dieser Tools erreicht werden können. Vom Ansatz und Grundverständnis her sehr hilfreich.

Diskussion Museum Computer Group: User generated / crowd-sourced geotagging? I'll just give one practical example..  Take an image such as one of the Normandy landings from the Imperial War Museum - http://bit.ly/cIr4zG.  The description tells us it was taken in Villers-Bocage.  I could then (or perhaps even an automated tool could) generate tags that put it in that locality.  And then someone who lives or visits there should be able to track it down pretty easily.  In fact people have done such things - see http://virtualfunzone.com/normandy-1944-then-and-now.html - but for all their effort, without that relatively small step that such a tool would have facilitated nothing has gone back to the original images.  Without that an opportunity of providing an enhanced experience, whether through a web tool like HistoryPin or via a mobile based AR app, is lost.

Based on the semantically-enriched data model, we have implemented three different components/tools in the CHIP demonstrator: Artwork Recommender, web-based virtual Tour Wizard and PDA-based Mobile Tour. (i) Artwork Recommender. a Web-based rating dialog for artworks/topics to build a user profile, based on semantics-driven recommendations. (ii) Tour Wizard. a Web-based tool using the user prole to generate (semi)automatically personalization virtual museum tours for each user. (iii) Mobile Tour. a PDA-based tool to map virtual tours into the physical museum space with constraints; to give guidance to users and to synchronize the user profile on the web and in the PDA. prsented at Museum and the Web 2008: http://www.archimuse.com/mw2008/abstracts/prg_335001703.html

This conference focuses on the interaction between museums and communities. In times of mobility and change, history museums play an important role in societal questions of social cohesion, identity and belonging. In search of their roots, people turn to heritage. History is popular as never before and it surfaces in all contemporary media. At the same time, the communication era offers new possibilities to form communities, based on common interests and preferences or popular and corporate culture. Museums in general, as part of the public sphere, are an important tool in this dynamic process of heritage formation and the performance of community.  

Social Media have become standard in journalists' workflows but complement traditional working tools. ... Results also show that Social Media are not replacing traditional channels but complement them. Almost 70% of journalists in all three countries state that they use traditional tools such as press releases, PRs and corporate websites as often today as they did three years ago.

Meine Hypothese ist, dass heutzutage die Möglichkeiten des sogenannten Web 2.0 von Museen respektive ausstellenden Institutionen unterschätzt werden. Folglich wird das Potenzial vieler, freier Kommunikationsmittel nicht ausgeschöpft.13 Demzufolge werde ich mich in meiner Masterthesis mit diesen drei Fragestellung auseinandersetzen: Was ist der State of the Art im Umgang mit dem Web 2.0 und konkret im Umgang mit Social Media für Museen? Wie machen sich das MoMA in New York und die Serpentine Gallery in London diese Social Media-Tools für ihre Kommunikation zu Nutzen? Davon ausgehend, Social Media wäre für Museen relevant, wie ist sodann damit umzugehen und auf was ist zu achten?

I was reminded of these two design principles when exploring the Johnny Cash Project, a crowd-created music video for a posthumous recording of Cash singing "Ain't No Grave." To construct the video, artist Chris Milk assembled images and footage of Johnny Cash in a sequence along with the song. That's hardly revolutionary. But what happened next is: Milk created a simple tool to invite visitors to augment the frames of the video with digital brushstrokes. The result is a beautiful animated video that composites together alternative frames created by participants all over the world.

"Companies often approach Social Computing as a list of technologies to be deployed as needed - a blog here, a community there - to achieve a marketing goal.

The Timeline is a chronological, geographical, and thematic exploration of the history of art from around the world, as illustrated by the Museum's collection. It is an invaluable reference and research tool for students, educators, scholars, and anyone interested in the study of art history and related subjects. First launched in 2000, the Timeline extends from prehistory to the present day. The Museum's curators, conservators, and educators research and write the Timeline, that continues to expand in scope and depth and reflect the most up-to-date scholarship.
