Don't say I didn't warn you: Nina K Simon on Why Museums and Cultural Institutions Should Care about Social Media

by Sara Isenberg on April 13, 2009

in Articles,Santa Cruz,Santa Cruz Geeks,Sara Isenberg,Social Media

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.”
