Web 2.0 is Everywhere

I just returned from the American Association of Museums (AAM) Annual Conference in Denver. CCSNYS was presenting on our Museum Board Empowerment Program, which is a three year-old governance program supported by the New York State Council on the Arts. Governance is a growing topic at AAM, but it will come as no surprise that web 2.0 was the really hot topic. Museums are using web 2.0 to increase their outreach, start new conversations, and engage their audience in new ways. AAM even added a blog for their Annual Meeting this year. Check it out here. From video to Facebook applications, museums are using social networking to facilitate new approaches to their collections and exhibitions. Museums, like any nonprofit, are trying to do more with limited resources. They are having tremendous success with web 2.0.
