Art museums have got this look-but-don't-touch policy, which is understandable - they can't just let the patrons manhandle the masterpieces. But it can make art appreciation a rather formal, distant and even intimidating exercise. WhileNew York's Museum of Modern Art midtown location was rebuilt in the early 2000s, reopening in 2004, the museum's Web site has just recently undergone its first redesign in five years.

Dean Donaldson has a point to make. And he is not shy about it. As Digital Experience Strategist at Eyeblaster, Donaldson is the man behind Eyeblaster's new measurement, Dwell Time.

There is a new generation of hyperlocal Web sites to contend with that TV stations could not have fathomed a few years ago: from the review site Yelp, to neighborhood site Outside.In to the house-to-house focus of EveryBlock.
