Europeanna has been studying the "value of Pinterest for cultural heritage institutions" By "taking content from five Europeana partners and presenting this content outside the constraints of the portal and institutional websites, Pinterest provided new visibility and interaction with collections that might otherwise have remained unseen" This project not only boosted visitor engagement with the content, it claims to have attracted "good quality visitors" spending longer on the site. I think this clearly signposts that Museums, Galleries, or indeed any cultural organisations can draw benefits from the Social Web by sharing openly in an online space with other institutions and organisations.
I think this project may be offering some answers to the question that is often asked - "why is no one coming to our web-site?" I think there are also some clear messages here for providers of educational cultural content. Via theo kuechel

The world is extremely diverse in its spread of native languages. Yet only a handful are commonly spoken by the majority of the world, about 2/3. Over half of the world's languages are expected to go extinct because of the extreme diversity and the minimal distribution which means that in some places almost every person speaks a completely different language and many are dying as their last speakers do not pass it on to their children.
This article is relates to cultural patterns and processes through the geographic spread of languages around the globe and the increasing acculturation that causes the loss of many of these languages in our increasingly globalized world.
Its interesting to see just how many people speak the languages we speak everyday, and to see just how many people DONT speak it.
It is amazing to see all main languages in perspective to the world. Mandarine holding the top spot with 1.39 Billion surprises me but at the same time doesn't. There are 1.3 billion people living there in the first place.
