A must see and experience site is Museum 2.0. Nina Simon is the blog author and she does such an excellent job of making museums accessible for those who just don’t get out to visit these wonderful resources.

With web 2.0, these buildings and their treasures are open to visitors 24/7 and you are invited to not only soak up the exhibits with your eyes but participate through the wonders of social media.

Another participatory Art & Media site is called ArtsBabble.  Be prepared to while away a few hours. This is what the site is about:

“1. free flowing conversation, about art, for anyone.
2. a place where everyone is invited to join an open, ongoing discussion – no art degree required.

The fledgling Multimedia Film Festival of York Region has a vision to be vehicle for enriching our community through the multimedia talents of our residents. The Film Festival Council (my partner and I created and provide support the web site) are envisioning a site  that will eventually have features like the ones used on Museum 2.0 and ArtsBabble.

The VoiceThread below gives a very good explanation of what web 2.0 means in terms of user participation. You can add your opinion and comments by  typing, audio recording or even video recording.
