Twitter…The Many Uses

Read this!  Don't just notice another Twitter post and skip it!

First of all, I know I've neglected the blog this week.  I repent.  I'm sorry.  We'll try and turn that around.  And I'll get to those questions in the next week or two.  Really, y'all lobbed up some softballs.  Nothing too tough or intense there.  Now back to Twitter.

My Life Group has made fun of me repeatedly for my love for Twitter and desire to see them all get onboard.  This week, I came across some great post at my friend JVo's blog.  You've got to see what they are doing with Twitter at their church here, here, and here.

A while back I posted a Leo Laporte video on Twitter in Simple English.  But for those of you who still doubt it's usefulness, you have to check out this video of Twitters CEO shring all the ways Twitter is being used.  I liked it before, but now I'm really becoming a believer!

You may not be willing to jump in yet, but you sure can't argue that it isn't useful!!  In fact, the way I see it, when we're willing to get creative and risky enough, I think we can leverage all sorts of new technology to work in our favor, whether it be for social reasons, a business, or using it to share our faith, connect our community, and enhance our worship and learning experiences.  And I love that Westwinds is willing to puch the envelope and try something crazy.

So, that being said, what other uses can you think of for Twitter?
Or what technology doesn't exist yet that you wish did?  Maybe you could create the next thing to revolutionize the way we do life!

HT: JVo – thanks for the video and the great info!
