Below are some places where you can not only view, but participate in Mattress Factory experience when you're not here with us at the museum. In other words, Friendship v2.0 |

FLICKR is an image and video hosting website, and online community platform. It was one of the earliest Web 2.0 applications. In addition to being a popular Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository.

 | FOURSQUARE
At first glance, FOURSQUARE is a mobile application/game that allows users to compete for points and unlock badges at locations throughout Pittsburgh (and dozens of cities throughout the world). But as the New York Times explains, when you "dig a little deeper, the service is also a handy user-generated city guide."
We welcome FOURSQUARE users here at the museum. HINT: When you check in here, show your phone at the entrance desk to save a dollar on museum admission!

 | LAST.FM
LAST.FM is an Internet radio and music community website connecting users based on common songs and artists. Users can create custom radio stations and playlists from any of the audio tracks in Last.fm's music library, and are able to listen to some individual tracks on demand, or download tracks if the rights holder has previously authorised it.
Our LAST.FM page links directly to the iTunes library in the museum's Development Office. We play a wide variety and a diverse mix of music, but be prepared. On Fridays, it's mostly hip-hop and Guns 'n Roses.
LISTEN ALONG WITH US ON LAST.FM |
 | MATTRESS FACTORY CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE
YOUTUBE is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. See creative process documentation pieces made while artists are living and working at the Mattress Factory, and find videos recapping museum events.
