Check out this SlideShare Presentation: by Nina Simon, a mad scientist, role model for viral museum marketing and new media plans.
Tweet my blog
Speaking in a informal language used by blogs, I think its important to get out information about viral marketing. It seems like there are new rules , as I am trying to drive viral aspects of my working interests to a public. I have found a way like many others to publish my content, because now what is important is whats transmitted word of mouth/ mouse. This is just the beginning of my blog, I hopefully will make it more colorful, add creative comments license. And find more exciting topics and research themes that are more shareble. See you tomorrow.
Wolfram/Alpha is launched
Please share your first experiences with Alpha! Despite its limited nexus of information I'm enjoying it! It works better than expected although it does fail on basic input. As a researcher I support the un-googling of the web, although Google still obtains the most inclusive status for keyword search and online SEO, Wolfram might lead to a Wikipedia application...

Jean Shin: Common Threads
Jean Shin: Common Threads
Now through July 26, 2009
I visited the Smithsonian American Art Museum to see the Jean Shin exhibit, after a student reviewed the exhibit for Exhibition Planning and Design. They described how the space was utilized, and described pieces that sounded like they were awaiting the landfill when they secretly held higher minded ideals in the hope to symbolize more than castoff emphemera. When I was in the exhibit, I saw how the artist made objects in the space. I saw the trophies firsthand everyday monuments - as they are called, pill bottles turned into light fixtures, broken umbrellas that created ambient noise, scraped off lottery tickets which were now "worthless" and sweaters that unravelled as another objet d'art moved through it. Sure it sounded like human detritus but in the presense of Shin's work I witnessed an exercise in conceptualism that assembled humble and overlooked material and marvelled visitors and made a familiar space hum with excitement made all too often alarms sound when you got too close. Be sure to visit this space in its last week if you get the chance and tell me what the state of the tower is in!
