This would be a "front page" way to get other voices on the main Museums 2.0 site. Could even be a regular feature. Nina could solicit postings a few weeks out and then every Friday could be "guest blog day".

If you prefer to connect with others asynchronously (i.e. not real-time), please vote for this general preference.

I think all these strategies are much more better when there is something actually to do. What should we do? Anyone need the wisdom of this crowd for a project? If it is a compelling project, then we can find the right media/setting/environment to do it.
I have an idea for a useful question for which I could use input from this group related to a project proposal that I am working on...actually two projects...one is called Human + about human enhancement technology/engineering, and the other is "art and science of the guitar" project that I am trying to get started.
Would you like to brainstorm on these? How would you do it?

Can we create a site where we share information on our travel schedules in order to facilitate meeting up face to face?

If you'd prefer to connect with others real-time, via conference calls, live chat, or in-person meetups, please vote for this.

I continue to be amazed at the impact of f2f vs virtually (pun intended) any other way of building community. Exhausting, expensive, but critical for creating a movement. We should be sure to get together whenever possible, either with specific agendas or just as brainstorming.

This is another option for getting other "instigators" involved. Depending on the format, Nina could even syndicate some of the best postings on the main Museums 2.0 blog if she wanted to run a guest feature.

This may be a little high-maintenance, but it could be great to actually get together and do a blitz or a retreat. Bring together some museum people, some tech people, and really talk about where we're going. Then again, maybe people are on conference overload.

Friendfeed allows you to create "rooms" on specific topics (e.g. "Museums in the social space") that effectively functions as a dynamic group blog. Using a bookmarklet, members can share web content and provide commentary on the content without leaving the page being viewed. Since it's effortless to post/comment, people feel less conscientious about participating in these rooms. All shared content goes to one searchable web page that serves as an archive for discussions and has social bookmarking functionality.

In my experience with starting groups, I've found it's most powerful when there is a small group that meets up in person (where possible) or via phone, and builds from there.
I think a strategy of having a ning-like site with a fairly low time commitment and using that as topic fodder for periodic (but regular) meetings could be a good way to go. It's scalable and a bit more nimble...

If we had a social network, people could post whatever they want, find others to talk with, etc. The negative of this is that it requires going to the social network to engage. I'm not crazy about Ning for this reason.

Many blogs that have high readership have an "open thread" occasionally which specifically encourage conversation about whatever is on people's mind in the comments section. One of the negatives of the Museum 2.0 blog is how freaking long my posts are--they may preclude great conversation in the comments. But I wonder how useful this would be for people...

This would be simpler than the social network idea. My fear is that, as Seth! comments, it can become a big dusty archive. I'd love to hear your ideas on what would really be USEFUL for you right now and in the near future.

If you are NOT interested in community opportunities, please vote for this. This is important because if a critical mass of Museum 2.0 readers don't really want to have conversations with other practitioners, we'll be looking for a tool/activity that serves a much more intimate group.

If you'd prefer to literally hear from and speak to others (whether asynchronously via a Voicethread or real-time via a call), please vote for this.

Reach Advisors has been doing conference calls featuring experts for awhile. One way we could build the Museum 2.0 community and learn more about what people are doing at museums all over is to schedule monthly sharing calls using a free conference call service. Pros: direct real-time conversation with others. Cons: real-time means people have to be available. Quality might be highly variable unless we start inviting guest speakers/topics, which starts getting more towards push content. What would you want to discuss with others, and would a conference call help?

Yes! I would love this!
Eh. This one's not for me.
