This should have been posted a while back but slipped through the net.
Ideum has set up a the rather sensibly titled MuseumBlogs.org which acts as a central aggregator for posts from a range of different museum blogs.
This is a very useful way of quickly finding out what is going on in the museum blogosphere all on the one page.
Aggregation is the core business of museums - we aggregate social, cultural and natural history for our respective communities. We aggregregate community knowledge around these histories and collections. Yet it is rare to hear of a museum talking about itself as a media conglomerate or even as a conversation facilitator - which is in many ways what museums are (or should be).
