Later, when were chatting with a small group of people in the lobby, we noticed a group of teens walking by looking a little sad.

Unsurprisingly, some of my favorite museums are small, funky places run by iconoclasts—but that’s not useful to most professionals who work for organizations in which they have little control over size or leadership matters. I worked on one project in which the client institution thought they wanted unfettered teen expression.

Last week, Elaine Gurian and I talked about radical change in museums. Former museum start-up queen, Jen is taking a small organization whose goal is to promote girls’ involvement in math and science through research and programming to new, innovative, exciting places.

For many museums, visitor research--how people use the museum, navigate exhibits, and understand content--may be an equally important arena in which to adopt groundswell listening techniques.

For me, the experience changed my perspective on what teens want from social environments and encounters. It's easy to forget that teens are most comfortable being social with those they already know, not people who are unknown to them.

When I talk with museum people about virtual worlds, the conversation usually centers on Second Life. In January, there was an interesting CNET article about "Generation We" --kids growing up today who are constantly plugged in, not to their own personal gadgets, but to a larger social network. So what does this mean for museums?
