In particular Twitter is rapidly growing and the analysis of tweets seems to conduce to increasing research activities. This paper focuses on twitter use as a tool of entertainment-dialogue mode in the relationship museum-users. We will analyse the MuseumWeek (MW) event, a worldwide social media cultural event launched on Twitter, and lasting a week.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
