Right now most people in the church are applying the wrong set of expectations to social media. We should be applying ministry expectations first, and then technological ones.
Time to quote Shirky YET AGAIN: “So for­get about blogs and blog­gers and blog­ging and focus on this — the cost and dif­fi­culty of publishing abso­lu­tely anything, by anyone, into a glo­bal medium, just got a whole lot lower. And the effects of that inc­rea­sed pool of poten­tial pro­du­cers is going to be vast.” -CLAY SHIRKY in 2004
This is how Twitter should be done. For the companies out there somehow still trying to wrap their head around this whole Twitter thing: just do what Geico does. Have a real human responding (preferably someone who considers the Internet their second home), and give them the flexibility to respond like a real human would. Let them be funny. Let them make little inside jokes. The Internet hivemind will appreciate it.

Oh No! Blogging is REALLY, REALLY dead this time!!!!!! :D | gapingvoid 

A really thoughtful piece that is pure truth.
