Tack vare Sebastian Chans workshop Web analytics and measuring on-line success in a rapidly changing on-line landscape är jag tryggare med det jag redan vet. Segmentera målgruppen, tydliggör syftet och målet, se mönstren inte siffrorna och inse vikten av omvärldsbevakning.

Although I am currently at a different conference (Educause West), my mind keeps coming back to MOW, especially after the session on accessibility that I just sat in. Terry Thomposon of the University of Washington gave an excellent presentation that reminding me of the discussion (and admonition) of Jim Angus on the importance of accessibility, especially the proper use of alt and img tags. Terry is part of a grass roots initiative at U of W that is promoting and working hard to make all web pages accessible.

Arrangörerna av webbkonferens är både kunniga och metodorienterade. Nytt för i år är un-conference sessions som tar tillvara på de samtal och möten som uppstår på internationella konferenser. Metoden är informell och man tar med sig ett ämne eller fråga till ett rum och diskuterar fritt.

Onsdagen innehåller praktiskt orienterade workshoppar som snabbt blir fullbokade.

Under hösten 2007 genomförde Brooklyn Museum en videotävling för besökare där de inbjöds att på en minut, beskriva musset på sitt eget sätt. Filmerna publicerades på YouTube och bedömdes av en jury som bland annat bestod av MTV Music Televisions VD.

Wow - that was a bumpy flight in across from Philly! I seemed to be the only #mw2009 participant on the plane. As I gripped the seat in front I wondered if there'd be a pint of ale waiting at the hotel to steady the horizon a bit...

Today - Tuesday morning - MW Tours begin to leave the Hotel from around 9am. Make sure that if you're booked on a tour that you don't miss the bus! 

Här är konferensprogrammet. Hör av dig om du vill att jag kollar upp något som du är nyfiken på. http://www.archimuse.com/mw2009/sessions/index.html

Something social, networked and slightly different is happening at #mw2009. From a small base in the Directors Room, our team of editorial volunteers will be actively weaving threads between Twitter comment, external blogs, and live post-session feedback.

We’ll collect everything onto conference.archimuse.com while ideas are still buzzing. It's about weaving together all sorts of voices, on all kinds of platforms, telling the story of the place and the space as we unfold our sessions, workshops and in-between moments.

we were tagged by the IMA a while back, in the 25 random things 'chain letter' that's been haunting the web in its various incarnations. from the better-late-than-never school of thought comes our 25:

Everyone,

We are resubmitting a grant proposal to fund Open Exhibits, a project that will allow us to develop, test, and disseminate open source software built specifically for museum exhibits.
