Cuando hablamos de la importancia que han tomado las aplicaciones para web móvil (aunque sea discutible que su diseño esté pensado para una experiencia del usuario verdaderamente innovadora y diferente a la que pueda disfrutar visitando el sitio web del museo, previa adaptación de este a la web móvil), no es menos importante el gran papel que están jugando las herramientas sociales (Facebook, Twiter, Pinterest...)
Pues, en esta edición, se ha otorgado el premio "Museum Professional" a una plataforma que, explicado de forma breve, mide la popularidad de la institución en las redes sociales... ahora lo veremos
Pero antes, transcribamos cuáles son las condiciones de este premio:
