I came across Jeff Howe's definitive book on Crowdsourcing and in the last chapter he offer guidelines for crowdsourcing. Jerry Michalski use the metaphor of the global brain to describe this. Now wonder some arts organizations - museums, orchestras, and now operas - have embraced crowdsourcing as a creative technique.

In 1990, educator and cultural critic Neil Postman described a museum as "an answer to a fundamental question: what does it mean to be a human being?" Without an explicit "I" voice, the museum's perspective on humanity is oblique to say the least. Welcome to Pine Point is not a museum project. It tells layered personal stories.

Now, after attending with museum friends from around the country, I'm hooked. Unlike most museum experiences, where people quietly absorb the work in a room, people were very comfortable pulling each other to specific pieces and extolling their merits or less inspiring qualities. Very few wrote in typical museum or even gallery-speak.

What does your museum have to say about it? What do visitors expect of museums, and what do museums expect of themselves, when it comes to timeliness? This is partially driven by museums, which want to be seen as "forums" for discourse, but also by the expectations of a media-saturated public. Pluto just got demoted.

Chapter 9 focuses on "embracing" the groundswell, or finding ways to involve users in the development of new products, services, and strategies. How many museums have stacks of comment books that are only culled for the gushing quotes that belong on annual reports? But getting information from visitors is not enough.
