Comments on: Colonizing Social Sites: It’s Fun & It’s FREE! http://bavatuesdays.com/colonizing-social-sites-its-fun-its-free/ a "b" blog Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:03:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Sheila http://bavatuesdays.com/colonizing-social-sites-its-fun-its-free/#comment-4496 Sheila Fri, 12 Jan 2007 14:51:36 +0000 http://bavatuesdays.com/colonizing-social-sites-its-fun-its-free/#comment-4496 This really is a great idea. I think it could also work well for institutions that have more restrictive server and OS structure, like federal museums. My former museum, US Navy Museum, had very restrictive rules about what could be posted on an official navy website and as a result just languishes in early web 1.0 world. But colonizing My Space has great potential. This really is a great idea. I think it could also work well for institutions that have more restrictive server and OS structure, like federal museums.

I am surprised to hear this for it seems like the cellphone is the tool of the future -or so many are saying these days. I was also struck by a couple of things about the college/univierity presence on MySpace: 1) How few have gone there thus far 2) Two out of the 23 schools that are on MySpace are Ivy League -actually three if you count the Cornell profle in the comments.

Baruch College has been talking about claiming some turf on MySpace for a little while now. The new mantra here is "You gotta go where the students are." We actually tried something along these lines (but much more expensive) with a service called AirBaruch that allowed students to get all sorts of school and course info on their cellphones -- it was not a big hit as nobody used it. MySpace seems like a safer, smarter bet for now. Good stuff, Jimmy. Baruch College has been talking about claiming some turf on MySpace for a little while now.

It does my heart proud to see the Brooklyn Museum (my old stomping ground) on flickr -nice to know the greatest borough in NYC is well ahead of the curve. A question: what is in the web 2.0 water up in Canada? -you folks are all over social networking sites like white on rice! Seems like everytime I want to find something interesting online I have to up North, at least virtually. Great stuff Zeke's Gallery (it is kinda funny how I am referring to a gallery as if it were a person -the next dimension of social networking?), thanks!
