o one can have a "museum experience" without stepping foot in a museum. Let's just get that out of the way. It doesn't matter how digitally precise your online version of "The Forge of Vulcan" is, tilting your head to draw the light across the raised ridges of paint is not an electronically duplicable experience. That doesn't mean digital art collections don't have great value. After all, art books do. So here are half a dozen great digital art collections you can visit to inspire your own trip, or your own thinking about art, or to remind yourself or to learn a bit for no other reason than digital art is better by far than no art at all. In order to keep from wandering off the path never to be seen again, let's focus on Western painting.

MuseumMobile is a forum for conversations about mobile interpretation - media & technology - for museums and cultural sites.

For Walker Open Field, we wanted a way to collect community submitted events and display them on our site. We have our own calendar and we discussed whether adding the events to our internal Calendar CMS was the best way, or if using an outside calendar solution was the direction to go. In the end, we decided to do both, using Google Calendar for community events and our own calendar CMS for Walker-programmed events.

Gutes Beispiel wie Themen/Storytelling wichtiger werden als die Objekte Das Deutsche Museum war mal das wichtigste Technik-Museum der Welt. Die Schätze hat es noch. Doch seine Exponate präsentiert es so lieblos wie eine Behörde. Es fehlt am Geld - und am Willen.

This report describes the demographic characteristics of U.S. adults that participated in the arts (such as concerts, plays, and dance performances) via electronic media (e.g., TV, radio, computers and portable media devices) in 2008, based on the Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA). Separately, the report examines broad categories of arts participation via Internet. The report also investigates factors contributing to the likelihood of some Americans experiencing art through media. Finally, the report considers the relationship between media-based arts activities and other types of arts participation, such as live attendance and personal arts creation. June 2010. 146 pp.

I've been building a site in my spare time for a friend - it is called The Last Survivors, and focuses on two particular species that are facing extinction. One of the requirements was for the editors of the site to be able to add results from their surveys of these species quickly to a Google Map for embedding in the website. Nothing particularly new in the build there, but I wanted to make sure that the workflow was as seamless as possible and at the same time keep the dev work to a minimum.

Last week I had the fun experience of leading a couple of internal training sessions at COSI about Yammer.  As a service to those who were unable to attend and as a resource to those of you who don't work at COSI, I will be blogging through the content we covered in these sessions.  At any point, you may also elect to go rogue and just read the tutorials and help documents at www.yammer.com (which conveniently enough is also where you sign up for Yammer…but that will be covered in my next post).

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.

In insgesamt 157 Beiträgen wird die Sammlung des Museum Ludwig in Köln anschaulich erklärt. Sie hören Beschreibungen und kunsthistorische Informationen zu Werken des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts, darunter Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí und vielen mehr

Recently I've been thinking of more and more ways that museums and libraries can expose their collections via other methods besides typing a search term into a search box - yawn… Like most Australians I've been playing around with the street view data Google have added in for Australia cities and it got me thinking, how could this be used by museums and libraries.

Immer wieder wird versucht, den Wert eines Fans zu ermitteln, von Vitrue wurde kürzlich ein Wert von 3.60 $ ermittelt, gemessen an der meiner Meinung nach völlig falschen Sichtweise der Anzeigenleistung in Facebook (siehe dazu meinen Blogbeitrag "Facebook: der Wert eines Fans beträgt 3.60$ - Bullshit"). Syncapse.com veröffentlichte kürzlich eine Studie, welchen den Wert eines Fans auf 136.38$ im Jahr beziffert. Der Ansatz von Syncapse.com gefällt mir wesentlich besser, allerdings bezweifle ich die Aussagekraft einer 25minütigen Online-Befragung von rund 4′000 Teilnehmern (aus Nordamerika) über 20 Marken für eine derartige Aussage.

Gestern hat mich Marc van Bree via Twitter auf einen Report aufmerksam gemacht , in dem Devon Smith untersucht, wie und auf welche Weise (amerikanische) Theater Social Media nutzen. Das Datenmaterial, das sie dabei zusammengetragen hat, ist ziemlich beeindruckend. Beeindruckend vor allem dann, wenn man bedenkt, welches Aktivitätslevel die heimischen Theater bis jetzt entwickelt haben. Netterweise hat Devon Smith ihren Report auf Slideshare zur Verfügung gestellt, so dass ich ihn direkt hier in den Beitrag einbinden kann.

Suchmaschinen-Optimierung (SEO) ist auch für WordPress und Blogs generell ein wichtiges Thema, wenngleich ein Blog aufgrund Struktur und Vernetzung bereits gute Voraussetzungen für die Suchmaschinenoptimierung (SEO) mitbinrgen.
