Conversations with the Community – Part 1
There is no question that one of the greatest benefits of social media is conversation. We can strike a connection with our fellow tweeters or facebookers that may have never happened in the first place.

We are going to throw out a series of post in the coming weeks titled “Have You Considered.” These articles are intended to spur some ideas and help you be more effective in your ministry.

10. February 2010
At the moment, today’s Best Practices looks like much of the east coast… cold, unforgiving, and covered with white and not much else.

3. February 2010
Today is Wednesday, and it is raining heavily in my beloved Austin, Texas. The weather forecast calls for rain for the next 48 hours at least. I don’t recall having seen the sun since this weekend. What, you might ask, does any of this have to do with a blog post about best practices for [...]

2. February 2010
So, we’ve created all these social networks to make us feel “connected” while we’re running around doing all the normal daily tasks. We send a tweet to notify our followers that our flight was delayed and that the person next to us is singing out loud. Then we login to Facebook to feed the cows [...]
