Jim Richardson is a new one for me, found through the power of the web 2.0 tools that he talks and writes about so well. I thought the below, which is a posting of a talk he gave a year or so ago, was a great summary of what web 2.0 is and how we as cultural institutions are perfect for exploiting (er, I mean utilising) the content we have, in what really is, just another channel. However, the key of course is the old standard, what museums know about, but we don't speak its name... 'engagement'.
This bit is especially thought-provoking...
'While much is said about the social network and the desire of these people to be hyper-connected, the time that these individuals spend ‘curating’ their online space is often overlooked. It has become a new hobby and a seriously-considered creative outlet'.
