Great post! I’ve thought through the whole twitter/facebook thing and use twitter specifically for edification, evangelism, and other kingdom work driven purposes while Facebook is two things (what Twitter is and social networking). See, sometimes I just post pics of my kid’s or something hilarious they said on FB. It a way to interact with people and let them interact with me over distance. It’s also through this influence of just being real that I have had opportunities to “chat” with people on FB and present with with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Fundamentally, all I do is meant to be kingdom driven. Even in just telling people I’m eating at a particular restaurant is to make a connection with them and them with me. I think they are both (even blogging) are tremendous tool that can be used to further the kingdom of God, yet they can be massively detrimental to it also. These social networking tools aren’t for everyone. Some people are social networking “alcoholics” and need to abstain from it.
That’s just my experience, thanks for letting me share it here. Again, GREAT article!

I had held off on twitter; considering it in the back of my mind. After reading the post I started feeding twitter to my blog. Response has been good.
Thanks

Thank you for this article. I agree with your view of technology. Just because something is new and exciting does not mean that it can be used to enhance our relationships with the people we love and lead. However, just because it is new and trendy doesn’t mean it doesn’t have redeemable uses for it. Thank you for leading in this area.

Thanks for posting this! It’s a huge encouragement to see something such as “twitter” considered and analyzed from a biblical perspective/worldview. If churches/schools are trying to utilize this resource for communication, but are concerned with their members/students getting over exposed to other negative influences, their is the capability of creating an independent/private microblogging community. Pretty much the same way the college used Ning.com for the WCBC Alumni Association -twingr.com -Stephen Koch

Excellent assessment and overview of how this should be used to do something God is pleased with…thanks Cary for taking the time to think this through biblically…so we can live like soldiers of the LORD and not spoiled “babes, “twixters” or adult time wasters in Satan’s “web” – excuse the pun! LRS
