[MCN-L] Twitter?

[Chuck Patch]

Hi Perian,

One potential use of Twitter that may only be relevant to folks living in
disaster-prone areas is for post -disaster communications. I wish we had
this following Katrina a few years ago when the cell network was on its
knees for weeks. Here's a video that describes its use for that purpose:

[MCN-L] Twitter?

[Smith, Koven]

The Brooklyn Museum (@brooklynmuseum) and Columbus Museum of Art
(@columbusmuseum) are both using Twitter to communicate with their
audiences.  Brooklyn Museum's stream has pointed me to some really
interesting stuff over the past year.

Incidentally, I've been playing with Twitter Stream Graphs of late,
which is actually how I discovered the Columbus Museum of Art's stream:
http://www.neoformix.com/Projects/TwitterStreamGraphs/view.php  Twitter
Stream Graphs parses out the relevant concepts from tweets, aggregates
them, and graphs them over time, so you can see what people are posting
about and when.  I graphed "Metropolitan Museum of Art" just to see what
was interesting about us to the Twitter community, and found a relative
paucity of postings until the opening of the Poiret show in late August,
then a settling down again, followed by a huge explosion in postings
when our new director was named.

I guess it's a little geeky, but still really fascinating.

We've experimented with Twitter, Pounce, Tumblr and Plurk - but only as
a means for communicating with staff and interns to this point.  We're
hoping to launch a Mariners' tweet later in the fall - but so far we've
only used it internally.

That said, there's definite potential there to keep visitors/members
engaged!

Alright, alright, I'm slow to the game, but are any of your institutions
using Twitter to communicate with your audience? I haven't used it
myself, and only just set up an account to try and check it out.

 

How is it working for you? Is it one-way communication between you and
your followers, or are they able to interact with you in some way? How
have you found this to be effective?

 

Thanks in advance for any help or insight!

LOVE Twitter! We (me) now do two twitter streams. One general news,  
occasional science news, reminders, even gave away some tickets and  
other items. The other stream is a daily science calendar item. We've  
had great response and have gotten good feedback from some users. See  
MuseumTweets. She is a Univ. of Wash. museology grad student doing her  
thesis on museum use of twitter and has compiled a good list. Twitter  
is addictive, fun, informative, evolving.

[MCN-L] Contents of mcn-l Digest, Vol 36, Issue 13 - User-generated content

[Nancy Proctor]

Hi Kate,
I recently published a paper on UGC that cites a few projects which may be
of interest to you, in particular Lignes de Temps at Centre Pompidou and the
SmartTour at Tate Modern (also known as the Educational or Teacher Tools
pilot). You can download it from our Wiki on mobile interpretation:
http://tatehandheldconference.pbwiki.com/Resources There's a bit of
information on each in the 'Case Studies' section of the Wiki, and also
forthcoming in Jane Burton's keynote presentation.

I'm also copying this to Silvia Filippini Fantoni who has made
personalization the subject of her PhD study, and as a result has done some
research on UGC as well.

I encourage you to join the Wiki and contribute your research to the UGC
section! http://tatehandheldconference.pbwiki.com/User-Generated+Content

Best wishes,
Nancy

Kate et al.,
 
Although not in the realm of technology, we are currently displaying a work 
that evolves over time as visitors participate in the work. It's called I Wish 
Your Wish by Rivane Neuenschwander. You can read more about it at 
http://blog.cmoa.org/CI08/2008/05/i-wish-your-wish.php. Also scroll down the 
page to see comments people have made about this piece on our web site. There 
are some relevant photos on our flickr photostream,

Hi Perian

What an amazing list.   THANKYOU so much!  I have already come across Nina's 
blog + the Click project but some of the other examples are very interesting.

I think you are right - it is probably the tip of the iceberg!!

You seem to be very much across this stuff - would you mind if I shoot you some 
questions off-list as I continue my research?

Thanks again
Kate

[MCN-L] Public Authoring examples

[Perian Sully]

dear Kate:

Actually, I'm having a "duh" moment. I forgot to mention our own
exhibition! Next week, we're opening "Memory Lab", which is essentially
a digitization laboratory with a couple of big iMacs, and flatbed, book,
and slide scanners. The computers will be used by the public (and us,
when it's quiet) to scan their photographs and other materials and then
work with the materials in a really wonderful program called Memory
Miner (http://www.memoryminer.com/ ). We're hoping that, at some point,
we will be able to bring in our own digital images for the public to
play with and make their own connections to our collection, but we're
not quite there yet.

I think there's also an oral history component, but we're still waiting
to set up the video space.

Since our archives have historically been focused on the history of Jews
west of the Mississippi, we're asking for the public to make their
projects available to us as part of the archives. Memory Miner has a
direct HTML output which would allow us to very easily put these
projects up on the web.

We open Memory Lab in a couple of weeks, and there has been discussion
about hosting workshops, particularly for our older public, who are
often a bit slower to adopt these technologies. If we can get them in
the door, we feel that there's a great opportunity to collect that
history, and give the public something to take home with them.

Hi Perian

What an amazing list.   THANKYOU so much!  I have already come across
Nina's blog + the Click project but some of the other examples are very
interesting. 

I think you are right - it is probably the tip of the iceberg!! 

You seem to be very much across this stuff - would you mind if I shoot
you some questions off-list as I continue my research?

Thanks again
Kate

[MCN-L] Public Authoring examples

[Kate Spencer]

Hi Nina

Thanks for responding to my email.  I have actually been reading your blog with 
great interest and have been meaning to get in touch with you directly for a 
while.  I think what you are talking about is spot on. 

I was only looking yesterday at your Voicemail project.  How did that go?  Did 
you get many people that responded?  In particular I was really interested in 
your comment about mobile phones being a great technology to explore as they 
are already something we are so used to using to "communicate" - what a great 
tool to use to be part of a dialogue with museums / museum communities.


You seem to be very much across this stuff - would you mind if I shoot you some 
questions off-list as I start looking at these examples more closely and I 
continue my research?

Thanks again
Kate

[MCN-L] mcn-l Digest, Vol 36, Issue 13

[fatih kucukpetek]

We have developed a social tagging and podcasting solution through out our
audio guiding system, in which we know every object the visitor is focussed
and make him/her tag, supply content, supply comment, supply a voice or
video cast on live.

The system cooperates with a handheld device (a modified PDA) which senses
the geo location by various interceptors.

The visitor can tag or comment the object, content by textual, vocal or
video through the hand held device.

The museum will soon open the site for  public access ; including the tags,
comments.

We will also provide web tagging and commenting on objects, hence we will
provide related content referencing on public or private sites.

For further details our product page is 

http://www.byds.com.tr/ecicerone.aspx

 

When site opens i will give the details here.

Kate,

I've been searching for similar examples and though I don't have any

first-hand knowledge, I did recently discover the Steve Project at

http://steve.museum which uses social tagging to enhance museum images

and content. The "steve in action" pages might be a lead to find

specific examples.
