Tierney, the idea is quite a nice one, but it could be more clearly developed and more user friendly.

Here are standard web marketing questions:
What leads to/precedes it, why is someone on that page is the first place?What is their goal? 
Who is your audience?   What is yours?
For
what purpose do you want them to interact with your site?  (I'm
guessing that they are helping create an exhibit?, but what is your
underlying goal?  to build interest?)
What will they get for interacting?...i.e. what motivation to they have to go to another site and then come back to this page?

Relative to the page itself:
- 
With all the visible outlines,  the visual is quite busy so what will
the end result look like?  I would think you could have mouse over 'hot
spots' that are not outlined, but only become highlighted when they are
moused over.

- The oblique angle is not good enough for some one
viewing the page to really see the other surrounding objects and make a
good decision about what would they might select to complete the
display wall.  Then are there any criteria or parameters you would
provide?  Are there wrong, good and better choices?

I hope I haven't been too harsh.  Good luck with it,
Kind regards,
Liz

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Program marketing help

 
Good afternoon,
 
I may have inadvertently sent an email to
everyone earlier today requesting to sign up to the listserv!  Sorry, this
is my first post and I am still trying to figure out how the listserv works. 
 
We need some advice with marketing ideas for a new internet program at
the Luce Foundation Center of American Art, the visible storage unit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum . 
We launched a new flickr feature in February, Fill the Gap,
where people can suggest new replacements for the Luce Foundation  Center , and have had only
one participant (who has made wonderful suggestions).  We have tried
several means of viral marketing—posting to our facebook page, tweeting
about the project, posting a link to flickr users with pictures of the Luce Center ,
emailing past teachers and professors and soon posting to our museum
blog.  Have any of you struggled with promoting new programs online? 
We would like to make this a monthly program, but are afraid it is not
attracting enough participants.
 
We would appreciate any feedback on to better market our project, or on
the project itself.  Please reply to [log in to unmask] with ideas or
questions.
 
Thank you!   
 
Tierney Sneeringer
Assistant, Luce  Foundation Center
