Man, that’s a good fight scene:

Apparently, newspeople are meateaters.

I’d definitely use it in conjunction with your blog (see twitterfeed.com, all you do is set up an RSS feed and it tweets automatically to let followers know you’ve posted)

Also, since you’re a museum, I’d use it with whatever other web apps you use. Snap some pictures and make a Flickr gallery and link to it in a tweet. Take a YouTube video and link it. Use the conversational nature of Twitter to promote the museum in ways that direct advertising can’t. A tweet that says “Spent the day installing a cool new statue” with a link to a pic may get someone thinking more about art than a “Come to IMA” TV or print ad. Heck, Twitter connections have brought me to the IMA blog a number of times in the last couple weeks.

Use it for Twitter-specific contests and be fun and creative. People like to get stuff and using Twitter to feed “exclusive” content seems like a good idea. (Actually, a number of contest ideas just sprang to mind.)

I hear these things called “Tweet ups” are all the rage. (Along with flappers, bobbysox and the Charleston, but I digress.) Maybe set up the occasional IMA Twitter followers tour at the museum?

But above all, as I said before, being yourself is huge. I’ve followed a number of folks through @WTHRcom and if I didn’t think it was rude, the ones that are 99% business/marketing strategy talk would be unfollowed. The ones that talk about lunch, their dogs and the (insert local sports team) are way more fun to look out for. And if you drop a “Purdue sure looked bad today…but Edward Hopper is looking great! (link)” then more power to ya (and IMA).

So – any specific Twitter ideas for the IMA?
