And I'm not saying that such things would be bad - in fact that kind of "obscurity' might be good for the smaller number of people who might participate. But it would seem to entail more than one strategy for using twitter. A open, public account that might be less social and another more limited space for selected groups within the museum. By the way, I think you are one of those people who have a similar arrangement for your personal twitter accounts - right? I've not been so much contemplating a "Musebarian_out" account, as much as "Musebrarian_local" Ah yes, I’d taken a look at 1stfans before, but hadn’t looked at it recently.

About museums having “members only” twitter accounts - have you seen http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/join/1stfans/ - I'm not a member but I think that's one of their offerings.
