Headline act
I’ve just attended a workshop on museums and blogging by the three guys from the Walker Art Cente - a follow on from a similar session last year. It was amazing to see how the traffic generated by the Walker blogs has boomed since then, and a confirmation that producing content of this sort is a worthwhile because there is an audience out there for it. Once again there were useful tips, although as ever there were things we’ve already done or are in the planning stage (though with Bebo.com in our case, as that is what teenagers in East Lothian predominantly favour at the moment). Even this is heartening as it is in a sense getting some external validation of how we are planning (and encouraging others) to proceed.
Now I’m off to ponder the idea of Facebook, Bebo et al. as virtual street corners - as teenagers increasingly tend to get moved on by the police from the physical street corners which have been their territory since time immemorial.
