It's no longer news that corporations and organizations use social media sites to distribute content and create buzz. Nevertheless, I'm excited that a couple of my favorite orgs have started posting to key social media sites:
Harper's Magazine is now on Twitter.
Updates so far include summaries of and links to Harper's content, as well as updates on site developments, i.e. "More articles from the archive (including last month) -- yes-- that's the plan" in response to a user's request for more online articles.
Rhizome posts its New Silent Series at New Museum to Vimeo.
As with any live performance, watching the video isn't quite be the same -- but you canadjust the volume, which I wish I could have done at "Continuing Education for Dead Adults" (too loud!). In any case, it's a great opportunity to watch some excellent contemporary artists do their thing for free. You can also catch the discussions held during "Nextcity: the Art of the Possible."
Which of your orgs of choice have found their way to social sites?
