as a student at the sorbonne im doing my thesis on social network
and web 2.0 tools, France is just at the begining of the reflexion of
relationship between museum and the web, and the presence of french
museum on facebook is nearly anecdotical.

The growing part
social networks is taking in every day life can bring great opportunities
for museum, but it also bring the need of deeper reflexion.

As a part of my research and to enhance the reflexion of museum, i would like to start a discussion on the way museum go on social networks. The point is to begin a reflexion on the fact which bring the museum on social network, what the museum seek on those networks, what are the benfits. Can you think about a special thing that make you whant to bring your museum on the social network. Do you think it was just for the fact to be in it, to make a place there, to promote the museum. Or did you choose to bring your museum on the social network, after long discussion and in the optic of giving a better knowledge to your audience. As the social network facebook is going in his second year, museum must step aside and think about their presence on social networks, in order that this presence became not just a way to promote the museum but a new way of life for the museum like the internet did in his time.
