All We are conducting the first comprehensive survey looking at museum blogs and blogging practices.
If you write for, or operate a museum or museum-related blog, please fill out the survey <http://survey.museumblogs.org/> on the Museum Blogs <http://www.museumblogs.org/> website. Jim Spadaccini (Ideum <http://www.ideum.com/> ) and I are the conducting the survey. The results will be presented in a session, Radical Trust: The state of the museum blogosphere <http://www.archimuse.com/mw2007/abstracts/prg_320000778.html> at the Museums and Web Conference in San Francisco in April 2007. We will also link to our paper from both the Ideum blog <http://www.ideum.com/blog> and the Powerhouse's fresh + new <http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/dmsblog/> blog. The purpose of the survey is to capture a snapshot of the technologies, aims, policies, uses, and impact of blogging in the museum sector. 2006 has been an amazing year for the field, what were 20 blogs back in January is now a community of nearly 100 museum-related blogs. The results from the survey will help organizations plan and justify future projects utilizing blogs and other social technologies. Please feel free to repost or otherwise pass this on.
