Jessica and John,
Thanks for the comments. I’m inspired to look for more examples of the “cultural community” using social media. Hope to have some more soon!

I agree with Rebecca when ask says that the “cultural community is way out ahead of most organizations when it comes to social media tools”

Creativity, creativity, creativity.

Great post! Love to see organizations using technology and new social networking capabilities to make their collections available to the public.

Rebecca- thanks! I also think the arts are way ahead of most organizations with regards to social media tools. Look at how the Brooklyn Museum has opened its collection with an API for developers – that takes it to a whole other level. I appreciate your thoughts and thank you very much for taking the time to comment!

Debra, these are such great stories! they almost take my breath away – or at least make me want to go to work for an arts group! These ‘case studies’ lend credence to my rapidly evolving theory that the cultural community is way out ahead of most organizations when it comes to social media tools – inventing fresh ways to connect their online/offline activities and convey/build genuine excitement about what they do. I can’t think offhand of a Flickr example that measures up to these three, but will be keen to hear of any that others may have discovered.
