@literalbanana What’s bad about museum wall tags? (I like them, if they are informative…)
@Meaningness I think they prevent people from looking at things, like knowing about things prevents people from being able to see/draw

@Meaningness on the other hand I really like this book http://www.amazon.com/Kindred-Spirits-F-Paul-Pacult/dp/0980123836 … which is basically wall tags for booze, listings of notes etc -
@Meaningness somehow it seems to invite MORE engagement rather than "explaining away" engagement - 2 more replies

@literalbanana I would find it hard to make a case that what you write prevents people from looking at things! -

@literalbanana I’m thinking museum wall tags need meta tags that explain how to use them, and how not to let them stop you looking -
@literalbanana “This tag say the painting was by someone famous, but everyone hated it only 25 years ago. Why do people like it again?” - 9 more replies

@literalbanana this is definitely highly dependent on the wall-tag-writer. Good ones tend to provide context, not tell you what to see.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
