A project by the MoMa. They asked their audience to tell their MoMa story. As a starting line they gave them the words: "I Went to MoMA and ...

"Its short history is this: I worked on it for several years, acquired a high-powered agent, had some brushes with major publishers, then, crickets. Way back when, say, a dozen years ago, a single editor could acquire a book, but today a whole board is usually required to sign off on a project, especially when a big advance is involved. Worse yet, the traditional book-publishing business has fallen on hard times, with layoffs and news that vaunted old publishers such as Houghton Mifflin have literally put the freeze on acquisitions. In short, it's ugly out there, particularly for new fiction writers. "

"I recently received a great question about blog rolls. The question was whether or not you should contact the people you put on your blog roll to let them know that you're linking to them. Then I started thinking about all the issues related to blog rolls, the etiquette behind them, the usefulness of them, and whether they're worth the trouble. I'm going to explain the basics of blog rolls, then I'm going to tell you my opinion of them (and you might be surprised)."

I've spent much of the past three years on the road giving workshops and talks about audience participation in museums. This post shares some of the most interesting questions I've heard throughout these experiences. I like to use half of any allotted time slot to talk and half for Q&A, so we usually have time to get into meaty discussions. Feel free to add your own questions and answers in the comments!

Transmedia Storytelling Developing transmedia Stories; what type of stories, imersion and/not engagement

Most UX designers use qualitative research-typically in the form of usability tests-to guide their decision-making. However, using quantitative data to measure user experience can be a very different proposition. Over the last two years our UX team at Vanguard has developed some tools and techniques to help us use quantitative data effectively. We've had some successes, we've had some failures, we've laughed, we've cried, and we've developed ten key guidelines that you might find useful.

"Sente 6 is the next-generation academic reference manager. Sente helps you find, organize, review and cite the academic literature in your field, and it does it in ways that you have probably not thought possible before. Sente also helps you build and maintain your library of PDF files for these references, because having ready access to the full text of important articles can be critical. Sente also excels at properly formatting bibliographies in your papers, but you probably already knew that. "

"The artist's impression below shows how a settlement first unearthed over two years ago, near Brougham, north-west England might have looked in its heyday around AD220. The illustration is based on the remains of buildings found during an excavation carried out by Oxford Archaeology North."

"One of the best things that came out of this year's Museums and the Web conference in Philly was an "unconference" session I organized around re-thinking and re-imagining what museum websites could/should be. It was a great conversation, with lots of interesting viewpoints. I hope to do a longer post about this in the next few days, but for now, here's the video of a talk I gave at Ignite Smithsonian a few days ago that tries to get at the root of the problem I'm trying to identify."

"Ein Versuch das Digitale in unserem Alltag auf eine andere Art darzustellen."

"Die Frage nach dem monetären Nutzen von Social-Media-Aktivitäten wird eine der bestimmenden Fragen des Jahres sein. Immer mehr Unternehmen engagieren sich im Social-Media-Bereich und deren Vorstände wollen Zahlen sehen, denn umsonst sind Social-Media-Aktivitäten nicht, auch wenn sie auf kostenlosen Plattformen stattfinden. Doch Heidi Cohen plädiert für einen anderen Weg: Vergesst den Social Media ROI und schaut euch an, was wirklich wichtig ist!"
