Michael Edson (right), the Smithsonian Institution's Director of Web and New Media Strategy, presented his vision for a new Smithsonian Commons that will provide knowledge sharing opportunities in the public domain. Michael helped to create the Smithsonian's first blog, Eye Level, and the first Alternative Reality Game to take place in a museum, "Ghosts of a Chance." His slides and notes are now available on slideshare:


Thanks Von, and nice to meet you today.

Note that I've omitted most of the slides from the first part of the talk (about the commons) and instead pointed a link at my self-contained powerpoint show and paper on the subject at http://www.slideshare.net/edsonm/cil-2009-michael-edson-text-version
