Now there is more awareness .. people have heard of Youtube .. It was like this back about 15 years ago too - when the web first got started. Just takes time.

I gave examples of possible initiatives benefiting arts fairs in new media (blogs, podcasts, Flickr), mobile space, social networks, and virtual worlds. I had thought the trip to Second Life's Artropolis would be a harmless diversion, but SL turned out to be the one idea which people afterward cited the most as potentially important to the future of art fairs. I wonder if leaders of arts organizations (and other groups) sometimes fear they've missed the boat on blogs, FaceBook, or whatever is cresting in the public consciousness, so that when they hear something that appears to be REALLY new, they have the pleasure of thinking, "Well, dammit, I'm not going to be the last one to the party THIS time!"
