If you want a chance of winning a copy, leave a comment saying how you might apply some of the science of participation to your social media strategy. Blog commenters are contributors, as are people who engage in contests.

Long overdue, the IRS finally pulled the trigger. And it seems that Summa is also involved in child care.

If you think your organization needs a more personal voice, or if you need more people to provide content - both of these reasons are good ones for having an organizational blog. What kinds of comments do you make on other blogs? Generally I wrote an honest comment and respond to what the blogger wrote.

I started meeting people through the blog--both those I interviewed and early readers who commented. By summer of 2007, when I left the Spy Museum to move to California, the blog was a big deal. I'll never forget when Elaine Heumann Gurian cold-emailed me in 2007 to ask if I would consider reviewing a new paper she was writing.

Back in 2007, when Facebook opened it doors to people older than college students and nonprofits started the early experiments on Facebook Causes, Froggy Loop did an extensive analysis " The Long, Long Tail of Facebook Causes " using the dollars per donor analysis. I agree that's not true. It's the relationship building and that takes time.

It makes us uncomfortable with opening museum content up to comment, tagging, and alterations by visitors. Whether on blogs or talk-back walls, people are more conscious about their comments when they know their name will be associated with their work. And then there's the value of primary voices for interestingness.

I started contributing to Global Voices where I did blogging roundups from Cambodia. In 2007, I raised money to help sponsor the first Cambodian Bloggers conference and raised a lot of the money via Twitter as Shel Israel noted in his book, Twitterville. Here’s a video and blog post I wrote for Blogher back then.

Last week, I cast my first-ever vote for a contestant on The Voice. The Voice has engaged me to the point of taking action and having a vested interest in the outcome. Shows like American Idol and The Voice let viewers do the job of record executives. But here I am, completely sold. And that’s what smart crowdsourcing does.

more like the Berkman Center Thursday evening blogger meetups I used to attend from 2005-2007. I knew many of the people in the room face-to-face, some for many years, or I knew them from online, having exchanged tweets or blog comments with them. That's rare in a conference setting. It reminded more of a saloon than a conference.

But there are other times when the message isn't simple, and in those cases, visitor voices can help strategically shape multi-dimensional exhibitions. It can be uncomfortable or downright limiting to declare yourself and your single voice the authority on a complex or multi-faceted topic. But we didn’t have to do that.
