Jay Caruso On the Value of Social Media

March 13, 2009

I often liken the development of social media to the invention of the printing press as far as its potential for impacting our culture, and I think we’ve only scratched the surface. Jay Caruso agrees and mentioned me in a pretty neat article about the value of social media, particularly Twitter where you can follow Jay if you’re a Twitter user.

If you’re unaware, social media has to do with spreading news (including the best news of all) through tribes and crowds of people using tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and a range of others. Jay and I (and many others) agree that while engagement in social media is not for everyone perhaps, someone within the church you attend needs to catch the vision for its impact. Thanks for the hat tip, Jay!

    I’m a total rookie at Facebook, Twitter and blogging. Sure don’t claim to be good at any of them. But social networking has allowed me to run across some of the most wonderful people that I’d never have met otherwise, such as yourself and so many others.

    We are just scratching the surface with social media. Those of us using it have to remember that we are still early adopters…Twitter though growing is still not in mass adoption. It and the many tools that will follow are all about spreading news and from a church perspective this is “good” news. We have a chance to engage people and help them apply spiritual principles beyond our church walls…these tools will help Great Commission efforts in ways we have never seen before…how exciting is that!
