Museums: August 2006 Archives

It's a joke that Time included PhotoMuse in its recent "50 Coolest Web Sites", but overlooked the new site for the Smithsonian Photography Initiative. Both sites are a bit anemic on content or instructions, but SPI shows some real promise in terms of innovative use of collaborative tagging and storytelling using archive photography. Apparently PhotoMuse will have a major new release next month.

UPDATE: More detail on the SPI from the Smithsonian's blog, Eye Level.
