In praise of…Museum 3.0

Just wanted to write a quick post to heap praise on Museum 3.0, a social network set up by Lynda Kelly (using Ning). The site works kind of like Facebook – you can set up a profile, add pictures, create events, publish blogposts – but it is exclusively focused on discussing museums and social media. With about 700 users and a number of dynamic threads discussing topics such as “Twitter as a business tool” and “Museums and Wikipedia”, it’s an excellent resource and friendly community for anyone interested in this area who wants to meet like-minded people online and switch ideas. Visit the site at www.museum30.ning.com (Get yourself a profile and befriend Claire and myself!)
