Welcome to the MuseumNext open social media framework for museums

Jim Richardson on his blog writes: “One surprise to me was that most organisations said they were approaching social media on a project by project basis, though all said that they intended to create a more strategic plan over the coming months. In reaction to this I suggested that we try and create some kind of open source resource to help museums to do this, and yesterday we set up a WIKI to allow people to contribute to what we have called an Open Social Media Framework for Museums. A few people have started to add content to this, and I’d invite anyone interested to get involved.”

This is a resource to allow museums to come together to develop a framework which can be used by institutions around the world as a starting point when considering how they can create a social media plan for their museum. We hope that you will help us to make this as useful a resource as possible, by collaborating with your colleagues around the world and adding to this WIKI. To do this you need to join the wiki.

Step 1. stop, look and listen
Step 2. Goals

The idea of creating a WIKI for this kind of collaboration was inspired by http://www.socialfestivalmodel.org
