The social networking crash course
June 7th, 2007The more and more I speak to folks like Jeremiah Owyang, the more I feel that an online strategy for our project is absolutely necessary. I’m finally starting to understand the appeal of Twitter and Jaiku as useful tools for journalists (I mean the BBC sends their usual updates) through there and Facebook’s applications list just keeps growing to the HotorNots, political meters such as the the Washingon Post’ (an application deemed by many users as simplistic and predictable). Ryan Shaw sees a lot of potential in us being able to create an application that will be informative to users as far as a sexual ethics interactive that better lines up with their current faiths. As for other helpfuls tips, “Texan” from BlogsUnited was awesome to provide me with the following information: To promote we can go to Street Prophets (www.streetprophets.com). We can also promote with Crossleft (www.crossleft.org) and Faith in Public Life (www.blog.faithinpubliclife.org). Apparently, they’re working towards building a second Progressive Faith Blog Con next year, and we’re going to get a formal email invite. We’re looking forward to having Jeremiah here tomorrow and I will make sure to blog it. Maybe a video might be in order here. Off to write about Twitter.

Why don’t we record it on Ustream and livestream it? It will be archived, and who knows who will show up and participate!
Thanks for inviting me, I’m looking forward to it!
