Museums and the Web

I've been in Montreal for the last few days at the Digital Cultural Content Forum - an international group exploring the future of libraries, archives, and museums. It's been a fascinating conversation (I'll post more shortly). With that as a backdrop, I've been more attuned to the activities of museums. I came across this interesting resource exploring Radical Trust: The State of the Museum Blogosphere: "As 2006 began, there were less than thirty known museum blogs; since then, that number has more than doubled. Today there are well over 100 blogs exploring museum issues, from a range of institutions and individuals across the globe. All of these blogs have embraced the concept of ‘radical trust,’ taking the big step to trust (radically) the community on-line."
