From a posting on the GEM email list - information about how museums are using Twitter as a marketing tool. [From Nick POole]

Quite a lot of information about how museums are responding to Twitter has gone out on Twitter itself.

Recent tweets include a downloadable list of 467 museums worldwide that are currently using Twitter as an active part of their marketing. Download the list from the link below (CAUTION: opens an Excel spreadsheet):

Plus, if you are so inclined, an evolving list of museums on Twitter that are run by women.

If you’re really keen, the American Museums Association runs a Facebook group of museums that use Twitter at:

Finally, the inimitable Jim Richardson over at Sumo has a lot of information about how museums are using Twitter on his MuseumMarketing blog at:

Hope some of these are useful!

All best,
