On October 13th I'll be co-presenting a workshop with Brad Carlin about putting social media into practice at Carnegie Mellon University's Technology in the Arts Conference in Pittsburgh.
We're going to discuss some of the things we've been learning through the online community we're developing for SITI company and we'll also take a look at tools that can help centralize all the things you read, save and share on the web using a custom start page, such as netvibes, and creating personal media channels enabled by tools such as Splashcast.
We'll contextualize them for arts organizations and discuss how these services offer useful ways organize media, presentations and resources related to exhibits, performances, education programming. It's a hands-on session in a computer lab, so participants will be able to try the tools and we'll walk through the set up together.
I'll leave you with a somewhat related quote I'm thinking about today - from one of the very few biz books I think is an important read:
...innovation is less about inventing and building physical things and more about orchestrating or coordinating good ideas.
