Technology in the Arts – Now on Facebook!

By Brad Stephenson | August 12, 2008


When we consult with clients about social networking and other online tools, we always stress thoughtful planning and mission-driven solutions. Let me be the first to admit, though, that we didn’t sit around whiteboards planning the Technology in the Arts Facebook page… we simply created it and started sending invites.

There are times when it’s crucial to plan for the implementation of a new technology tool, and there are other times when it’s important just to get it out into the world and allow it to take shape organically. In the case of Facebook, MySpace or any other template-based offering, it’s easy to get rolling with little investment.

We invite you to become a Technology in the Arts Facebook fan and help us shape an online community dedicated to using technology to support the advancement of the arts.

    Brad,
    this is totally timely. We’re thinking of doing the same thing too for NAMAC as it’d be great to have that online interaction with our members.

    We’re of course thinking of it being within some kind of larger strategy, but you bring up some great points about these ‘template-based’ platforms. I think a platform like Facebook can allow our members to interact with each other in a more organic way than our own ‘custom built’ solutions might provide.

    see you there!

    p.s. thanks for the LinkedIn accept!
