From the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney the Fresh+New blog is firmly aimed at Museum professionals but there’s something for everyone interested in making the conversation between museum and visitor take on that new dimension. Seb Chan is sharing up a storm…….thanks.

I read Jim Spadaccini’s co-authored paper Community Sites and Emerging Sociable Technologies  on archimuse.com. I’d been thinking of researching the effect of web 2.0 on Museum learning and this paper set out the case beautifully.  His biography on archimuse gave me the link to his ideum blog.
