February 1st: Follow a Museum day

Posted on 21 January 2010 | 1 Comment

Jim Richardson: I read with interest today about Bill Gates joining Twitter and amassing a following of more than 236,000 people in a little over 24 hours. The Museo del Prado is the leading Museum on the micro blogging website with 92,431 followers, but as I wrote earlier this month, most of the 871 Museums on Twitter have fewer then 500 people following them.

Of course quality of followers is more important then numbers, but I wondered if we could co-ordinate a mass retweet for February 1st saying ‘Today is follow a Museum day” and get people on Twitter to think about following a Museum.If the Museum community on Twitter worked together to get this message out, then perhaps we could collectively get more people to engage with Museums on twitter. Would you retweet the message about Follow a Museum day? What do you think?
