In the first of this TweetsReview series I explained – in Catalan at that time – why I decided to start the series. The story goes back a couple of months ago when I was involved in some discussions on the social media mix, i.e. the proper balance of all the 2.0 tools within a communication strategy. Participants agreed that Facebook and Twitter were very powerful, but that information was lost in a few hours and that it was quite difficult to recover interesting information distributed through these channels. In a blog, however, the information is kept and remains accessible over time. That’s why I started the series “TweetsReview” as a selection of my most interesting tweets during a certain period of time.

4 Jul The virtual Museum of the City. Great participatory feature: create and present electronic exhibits about cities. http://t.co/806PAju
This 100% virtual museum is, in its own words, “the world’s only virtual museum of cities, showing the things that make a city great: its design, its history, its transportation, its cultural influence”. It is basically a 1.0 website, but what I found most interesting is the “Get involved” feature: everyone is invited to build and submit an exhibit. I am curious to see the first exhibitions there!

29 Jun BBC’s new web: Your paintings – Uncovering the nation’s art collection. Featuring great social tagging! http://t.co/ZKsGUOd
BBC has launched a new web which aims at putting 200’000 pieces of UK’s art collection online. Very user-friendly, with guided video tours by experts and a great social tagging feature “Help tag the nation’s oil paintings”, starting in summer 2011. Yes, I am a big fan of social tagging and I wish more museum websites would propose it. The Brooklyn Museum is, as for many other 2.0 features, a fantastic example of social tagging.

24 Jun Wow! RT @artinfodotcom: A Museum That Does Take-Out?: How the Leeds #Art Gallery’s Public Lending Plan Works: http://t.co/rbE7n8C
I first couldn’t believe it: just go to the museum and take your favored painting back home for a while (and little money). So innovative! But…what about conservation issues? I cannot think of many museums that could seriously envisage such a scheme.

3 Jun Thomas #Hirschhorn ‘s website for his work at Swiss Pavilion @la_Biennale “to propose an inside view” http://bit.ly/liTlpu
Thomas Hirschhorn launched this specific website to give more background information on his work “Crystal of Resistance” exposed at the Venice Biennale 2011, Swiss Pavilion. I think it interesting to get an insight view of an artist’s creative process, for instance through 79 sketches online, well worth a browse. There is much more material: videos, studio and set-up pictures, etc. It really helps to get familiar with the work, even without travelling to Venice.

And finally, a recommendation to visit an exhibition in Barcelona:
17 Jun L’efecte del cine. Somni. @FundaciolaCaixa BCN. Vídeos, pel•lícules i instal•lacions d’alta qualitat. Molt recomanable! http://t.co/GQxzglw
This exhibition at the CaixaForum in Barcelona gathers some fantastic works: video art, film and installations, all of high quality. I especially liked and installation by Anthony McCall You and I Horizontal II, 2006.
