Here’s a great article aimed at people working in museums but I am sure it’s just as interesting for anyone working in any cultural institutions or really, anyone with an interest in social networking in general. Written by Nina Simon, ‘How much time does Web 2.0 take‘ looks at what you might be able to accomplish through social networking based on the amount of time you can devote to it per week. Have a read and work out if you are a participant, a content provider or a community director. There are some great suggestions in here on how you could promote your institution online and help those seeking information or trying to discover you.

Hi Jerry
I think I am a participant or a connector. A synapse.
Surfers follow the Summer. I follow memes.
This means my blogging is intermittent. I post if there is a new idea.
Sometimes the idea belongs in a specific context so it goes to wikiversity or to TALO. Sometimes there is a community event to organise.
The scale of the commitment is then relative to the amount of context you need to hear to be useful to the meme.
Would be nice to extend the question to what kind of value you want to effect. To follow an idea or process and apply it in a work context.
To watch the community working in relevant ideas and practice and to connect/contribute specific help on topic as it is called for.
Connecting memes and people who are working in parallel.
These kinds of things are more transitory and dont necessarily mean you have to commit longterm to that idea or conversation for value to be effected. Sometimes there is value in listening to the state of play in a single moment and bringing disparate things together.
Value is not always a congruent information product.
I did video podcasting at my previous school with students… Currently trying to get it up and running at my new school. Just got started today, be a week or two before we get that going… check us out: http://ww2.chandler.k12.az.us/patterson-elementary/
