speak geek

A recent 'speak geek to me' lecture highlighted the ways that cultural organisations are using social and other virtual media to reach and communicate with audiences (they're all doing it apparently people, from the Met to Te Papa). I was introduced to such concepts as webiquette and it all just seemed a bit much.

The charasmatic Tee Morris  let me in on the idea that social media are not and should not be a substitute for face-to-face contact, but rather a way of facilitating or enhancing it.

I walked out thinking that Facebook and Twitter are perhaps not the all-consuming evil behemoths that I had previously thought...or rather, that they are but have their upsides too. Stay tuned for it, yes, an Enjoy FBook page to be launched soon as.
