Ryan Anthony DonaldsonSebastian Chan and his colleague gave a great presentation. I was inspired learning more about museums that are embracing the social media possibilities for their websites. This meetup facilitated several engaging conversations following the presentation. Thank-you.
-
Matthew CaldecuttExtremely informative, but I think that the presentation should have been broken up into two parts with a ten-minute intermission between.
-
PatriciaInteresting presentation. Introduced some new ideas and oppty. to meet others. Not a good space for this size group.
-
Tom Schreiber - Mathes Grant LLCThe ideas on tagging and data sharing across the old boundaries of the private space of the museum and the social environment in which it operates overflowed the room. Plus there was a slide showing a crocodile.

tamsenI thought the talk was relevant and the crowd interesting. It went a bit long and so many people left and did not stay to chat.
