Forward thinking

It has been some time since I posted here, and likely that is because of a lack of particularly interesting things. That is not to say that things have been boring... quite to the contrary. However, real-life excitement doesn't always make for internet excitement.

Last night, however, I attended a discussion led by Seb Chan of the Powerhouse Museum of Science + Design in Syndey. One of the things, since starting my current job, that I have been most eager to learn about and discuss, is the role of social media in a professional arts web presence (the topic of Seb's presentation). "Web presence" is the key there, since gone are the days of a web page, or web site, or web application. Each of those things is really singular in purpose, but if you think about your company/organization's PRESENCE online, you can start accomplishing some really spectacular things.

You can watch the presentation by Seb on-demand here and I highly recommend that you do. Also, check out the Powerhouse
