Museums are quickly adapting to Web 2.0, and engaging with a new on-line audience. Social media projects are being developed and used by museum staff, and curators are starting to explore this new space. When the Powerhouse Museum's curatorial department created their first blog, they had no idea what they were in for, or what challenges they would face.

This paper will use the Powerhouse Museum's 'Object of the Week' blog and a major international survey of curators to investigate how social media activities are impacting on curatorial practice.

Ab Juni bietet der Schweizerische Nationalpark seinen Gästen den digitalen Wanderführer iWebPark als iApp an. Nationalparkinteressierte können die Applikation direkt auf ihr iPhone laden. Dadurch wird ein Besuch des Nationalparks noch spannender. Nach Beschreibung eines Bekannten, können auch eigene Beobachtungen zu Tier-Sichtungen eingetragen werden. Das bedeutet, dass anderer Wanderer später sehen können , dass an einem bestimmten Ort beispielsweise ein Hirsch gesichtet worden war.  Finde ich sehr spannend.

Das Partizipieren ist für die Besucher leider doch nicht möglich. Einträge von Tierbeobachtungen können nur von Experten/Staff gemacht werden.
