Reading the blog is enough for me. 

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.

Audio-based interaction 

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.

Text-based interaction 

If you'd prefer to write and browse text, vote for this one.

Forum for threaded topic exploration 

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.

Real-time engagement 

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

Asynchronous engagement 

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

A weekly open blog post or voicethread for comment conversation 

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...

small social network (Ning or Facebook group) for ongoing discussion 

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.

Monthly open conference calls to discuss what folks are working on 

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?
