    “

    The public works tirelessly to flee to actual interactions between real people, and our organizations work even more diligently (and with more leverage) to corporatize and anonymize the interactions.

    The irony, of course, is that an organization with guts can go in the opposite direction and win.

    Dynamic Feed Control Wizard →
    Google’s created a tool for embedding combined feeds into a single website.  The “feeds expression” box feels a little too “I’m feeling lucky” for me.

    A totally worthwhile 16 and a half minutes.  I’ll be looking at the museum with an effort to find the mouse.

    Feed Your Reader! →

    I really like the way that Ren separates his content and offers different feeds based on (in his case) various amounts of information. I think it would be nice to have a firehose feed for all things, a multimedia feed for just pictures and videos, individual blogging feeds, etc.

    Until our blog readers can accurately do this for us (the best example of this that I’ve seen is Facebook’s slider concept), I’m a fan of offering this option.

    Blog Awards as Motivators

    Every week I find probably a dozen new conversations happening online about the Museum. Those bloggers are like an army of citizen marketers.  What if we rewarded the best blog entries with tickets to the Museum?  Or coverage in our newsletter?  Or a spot on our wall?  Or our plasma screens?  We could send out a badge for their blogs and promote their entry/photo/video in our virtual and physical space.

    I’m on it.

    This video does a wonderful job at illustrating the difference ways we conform in crowds.  Museum exhibits (and the paths in between them) are a kind of elevator scenario, too.

    Tracking Conversations on the Web. →
    I’m experimenting with delicious and six museum employees to see if I can develop a tagging system that will notify them of conversations on the web that reflect their areas of responsibility or personal interest.  You’ll see on the right hand side of the page how I’m tagging things.  I welcome suggestions.

    At NISE Net, we’ve been brainstorming ways to encourage (presumably novice) social web users to personalize their profiles.  This unattractive - but inoffensive - default image used by 12seconds.tv is along the same lines we were thinking.  Neat to see it used elsewhere.

    I’ve been thinking of ways we can encourage visitors to post their pictures and videos online and considered passing out cards like this (sans the impaled sheep eye, but a nod to the humor behind it nonetheless). The Felting Needles (via Cheshire_Cat)
