Here at Pacific Science Center in Seattle we're just starting to get moving on a staff wiki. So far things look good. But...as an avid Twitter/identi.ca user, I see an internal Twitter-like service as even more useful. Read about it here:
http://tinyurl.com/64da9g The example there is a corporation with far-flung sales, etc. folks. But just inside our rather small organization we all seldom, if ever see and interact with each other. We're just too involved with our own areas. I think a non-ending, constant stream of thoughts from my colleagues would be most valuable. Is there anything like this being used anywhere in our museum/science center universe? I can just imagine a Dennis Schatz and Heather Gibbons along with a Bonnie VanDorn and Lesley Lewis and Bryce Seidl and ALL those many others who share the collective braintrust of our industry watching this stream of tweets go by...seeing questions go by that they remember from their past and saying, 'I remember how we did that back then.' Maybe an astc-sponsored service that utilizes identi.ca's open-source software? Just spewing some thoughts as I watch streams of incredibly intelligent ideas float by. StanO
