Just a few months ago, The Smithsonian queried its audience to help address the following question:

Given the new ways of learning using technology, the Internet, social networking, photos, videos, and cellphones: Where do you see the Smithsonian’s museums and websites in the future?

People of all ages were encouraged to respond by uploading their answers to the Voice Your Vision group on YouTube, participating in workshops, and sharing on Twitter.   You could even watch the collective vision evolve on the Smithsonian 2.0 strategy wiki.  Thanks to all of the multimedia feedback, the Smithsonian released their Web and New Media Strategy, Version 1.0 yesterday.  Take a look and see what you think!   The Smithsonian continues their transparent digital growth by seeking your feedback on the plan as they move forward.

NextGenWeb congratulates this iconic American cultural institution on embracing technology this way and looks forward to all of the online experiences The Smithsonian 2.0 will offer!!
