Do you know about nings? They seem to be breeding at a great rate. Basically they are social networking sites for people interested in specific topics. You can just read things if you like or you can sign up and join in by asking for information/ideas or commenting on other people's projects. It's just a big love-in really.
I found this post about museums and education on Museum Australia's new ning, maNexus. You might also like to check out the Museum 3.0 Ning (although content seems to overlap substantially) and the CAN outreach blog which has some very interesting content.
Happy ninging

Very interesting (as always) Caz! Looks like the PROV has made a good start. When can we get our Ning up & running? Would be especially great to get something going with the Research Service.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that it is becoming increasingly important for places like us to keep up with what's happening in the social networking world.
Did you get to fill in the Curator's Survey?
