One of my favorite recent discoveries is the blog and ideas of Nina K. Simon who designs and researches participatory museum experiences.  I just happened to be standing near her and her husband, SibleyVerbeck, at a recent Santa Cruz Geek’s monthly dinner.  We chatted and exchanged a bit of email after that.  I didn’t know enough about her at that time to be impressed (as I am now) until I started to follow her online, and then didn’t pay attention until she shared her blog about Becoming Generous Thieves: Notes from the Museums in Conversation Keynote and her  Presi.com presentation.

I spend a lot of time telling clients why they should care about Social Media.  Perhaps next time I’ll just say read THIS article.

Now I, too, can say “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
