Pushing Into New Territory

Well, I jumped into the newest of new media this week. I already have this blog on blogger, a web site, Shaver Associates, a FaceBook page, LinkedIn account and a video hosting account on Blip.tv.

What's the newest of the new, you ask? Twitter. I have to admit I was resisting it for quite awhile. I just wasn't sure I had anything much to say ... at least as often as Twitter people say it. But then it dawned on me who has lots to say. Ministers.

That's right. One of the things ministers are doing is getting the message out to as many people who want to listen. Let's put it another way, if you could receive messages throughout the day from your favorite minister, wouldn't you want to read them? I love listening to Rev. Dr. Kathy Hearn.

I think every minister that has something to say should be on Twitter. Maybe they'll just have one or two posts each day. A thought for the day. A bit of news. Something inspirational perhaps.

In the next few posts I'll talk about how to do some of these things. For example, the two posts below this one were submitted using the Twitter infrastructure. In fact they went to almost all of the pages I listed in the first paragraph.

In the mean time, if you're curious, you can look at the little things I'm saying at my Twitter home. You can watch the video about Twitter below and you might even be inspired to sign up for a twitter account.

Peace, Love, Laughter,

UPDATE: I added the Twitter widget on the lower left side of this page.
