		<description>Although I see the appeal of real museums, real books and so on and that is my preference for the most part in this case for digital media in particular a digital showcasing of it makes more sense.

Local gallery near me have digital media exhibits, due to the nature they are showcased on comp stations so basically I could experience that exact same thing from home/work/other. Experience better perhaps if you had a good monitor 10bit display (most are 8) with 12bit lut and good contrast ratio like 850:1 such as a coloredge screen.

I&#039;ve been looking forward to the opening for few months now but unfortunately it never seems to come as it keeps being delayed which gives me the feeling it is nowhere near ready to roll out so I expect when it does open it may not be anywhere near its future potential sadly.... who knows we have to wait and see.</description>

		<description>Great article for anyone working with a web developer! I will add that visual people will benefit greatly from wireframes. These are maps of the structure of the site the define everything from the links and the navigation items to the functionality. 

The wireframe should be the first step in the process and should include considerations for usability of the site and the SEO keywords you will use to drive traffic. Once you have a wireframe built and everyone agrees, the developers work goes considerable faster. This also protects both parties if any disagreement arises regarding the site&#039;s development and functionality. 

Good luck,
Dawna Jarvis

		<description>Great advice. You should make sure you have a web developer that doesn&#039;t view everything black and white. There are shades of grey for arts organizations, and there will be new discoveries throughout the process. 

If you discover that you need a new section for fundraising, their response should be &#039;let us figure out a way to make it happen&#039;, not figure out how much it is going to cost you. Most importantly, dig into the layers of their CMS. For my company, we don&#039;t want to be in the business of updating the site&#039;s content, it is important for us to develop solutions that EMPOWER clients to use the website tools. 

We also advise our clients to avoid flash. Your long term costs will be lower with a non-flash environment. Every time a developer has to go into the flash for changes, it will drive up costs substantially. There are plenty of viable solutions that utilize javascript to get the desired effect.

Lastly, make sure your developer is following a layered approach. Functionality, Content, Look &amp; Feel. This way, in two years if you want a new look for the site, they can just change the Look &amp; Feel layer and not have to start the site from scratch. We have clients where we have changed the look and feel several times without having to touch the content or functionality layer. You want to get as much mileage out of that initial development.

Best of luck.

		<description>David,

Thanks for such a great and flattering service! It was also great to read your personal cons to take those into account. We are really looking forward to having the Fan Page backup soon, it is in high demand! We hope to be able to make each service&#039;s output data in similar formats, but for now we are not able to do this because of different API specifications.

Thanks again!

		<description>Thank you for this wonderful blog post. 

I&#039;d love to see you do an article on web 2.0 applications like my product Ensemble Manager. Many experts agree that software has already gone the way of the dinosaur and that web-based/cloud-based applications are already what many organizations are beginning to use. 

The benefits? 1. You can access your information from any computer (Mac, PC) or mobile device/smartphone that can connect to the internet. 2. You never have to back up your info because it is backed up for you and kept on secure servers that have infinite redundancy systems. 3. Infinitely upgradable. You never have to buy or purchase new software because options can be added and bugs can be fixed without you having to install anything on your computer.

I invite your readers to check out Ensemble Manager at www.ensemblemanager.com. It is a personnel and library database with seating chart design tool that is appropriate for all types of ensembles (vocal and instrumental).</description>

		<title>Comment on Dynamic Pricing: Making It Work? by David Zoltan</title>

		<description>Hey Pat,

In the study we did as part of our 2001 MAM Systems Synthesis thesis on dynamic pricing, we started to look at forecasting systems and built a primary decision tree for exactly this purpose.  I&#039;m surprised that no one has stepped up to implement it yet.

I still have every faith that arts administrators will realize what a huge tool this will be for revenue streams and for achieving outreach missions as well.  In a talk in Madison, Michael Kaiser relayed the success of this model at the Kennedy Center.  It&#039;s my belief that with large successes like this out there, that smaller organizations can benefit from that success in the form of some reasonable assumptions that can then be tested and reacted to in implementation.</description>

		<title>Comment on Technology as competition for the arts by Zack Hayhurst</title>

		<description>I too was there for that Ben Cameron speech at American University, and was equally intrigued by what he had to say of technology&#039;s negative effect on the live arts.  You are right, and very honest, to say that &#039;for every person who likes a Bach fugue, there are many more who like Glee or Rock Band.&#039;  

I am one who fits into both categories.  I like both Bach, and things like Bach, as well as things like watching Glee on Hulu.  But the point is I like both.  What makes me different than &quot;most&quot; other people?  I think part of the answer relates to my background and experience as a child with the arts.

I started young - playing piano and then moving into vocal studies at a later age.  The arts, in the traditional sense, are still such a large part of my life, I think, because I began doing them as a child and still do now.  

Right now, I am living with a group of opera singers in New York.  They are all in the 20s and early 30s, so they are part of that generation that likes to engage in entertainment the &quot;new way&quot;.  Yet, they are highly skilled in the &quot;old ways&quot; of art and entertainment.  Pop culture is as much a part of their lives as it is some one who is not a professional opera singer.  They still watch Glee, have Iphones, listen to pop music, etc.

My point is, I don&#039;t think it is so much an issue of the current generation and the way they choose to consume entertainment, so much as it is their background and early childhood exposure to the traditional forms of artistic expression.  I believe wholeheartedly that early engagement and involvement in the arts, not simply passive exposure, is an integral key to one&#039;s future involvement in traditional forms of art.</description>

		<description>We are creating a social media metrics application at http://www.twentyfeet.com that will centralize all your web stats in one place. We only have twitter, facebook and bit.ly so far. But I would love to get feedback from you guys about it, as soon as it gets live in the next weeks.

I thought you might want to add this service to your list, as we are for free for one twitter and one facebook account. :-)</description>
