The existing evidence of social media presence and use comes from a study published in Museum Management & Curatorship in 2010 that counts the common tools museums across 5 Western countries were employing. They noted for each museum in their study 2.0 tools represented less than 10% of their online presence. Tools like sharing sites, commenting tools, uploading to the museum website, open forums, moderated forums, mashup tools or collective construction.
