In the most basic terms, I see Historypin as the interface between people (you can be in the exact spot you’re looking at on the map, or around the world), places (the geography, the buildings), and things (the events, small and large, that change those people and places over time).

People either start ignoring your updates because you’re always in their news feed, or they “hide&# you altogether. People are much more likely to follow you if they think you will follow them in return, and the more people you follow, the more your nonprofit’s avatar gets spread throughout the Twitterverse.

Native art in native museums, religious artifacts shown in temples, mosques and churches, and so on? This idea evolved into having an on-chain Museum,” says McLeod.

I write this piece in good faith about the organizations I know best: museums. The vast majority of American museums are institutions of white privilege. The popular reference point for what a museum is--a temple for contemplation--is based on a Euro-centric set of myths and implies a white set of behaviors.

Every day for the past two months, a man has entered the largest gallery in my museum. It also complicates the question of what is acceptable in a museum. If an artist can come into a museum and smash stuff, what does that tell visitors? It is not acceptable to walk into a museum and destroy another artist''s work of art.
