Ask A Curator Day on Twitter, 9/1




Two interesting posts from Elinora Schinella and Danny Birchall on the recent Ask A Curator event on Twitter. I both answered questions (for the curatorial organization I work for) and asked them (and I agree with Danny that the answers were often a let down). Can Twitter actually do anything other than satisfy rampant voyeurism, lust for advertising (both self and other products) and speed up the decline of our attention spans? Maybe that's a little harsh (I totally use Twitter) but AAC Day didn't make me feel closer to the thoughts of other curators. It did, at least, start a conversation with a species often shy of the general public.....
