Will Boyd writes about social media and the church.  Because I’m using social media all the time, and my dissertation appears to be taking the track of a social media project, this is interesting to me, and I suspect it will be for you also.  

Excerpt here, read more at the link below.

With all of the news coverage of churches using things like Twitter and Facebook of late, I’ve gotten the opportunity to talk to a lot of the members of my church about social media and the way our church is using it.  What I’ve come to realize is that, for most people, their is a lot of misunderstanding about what social media really is.  That is why I wanted to write this post.  This post is not a how-to guide for churches that want to use social media.  Nor is it meant to be an argument for why churches must or must not use a particular service, website, or strategy, though it may seem that way at times.  What this post is meant to do is provide a basic background for what social media, at its core, is.  I realize that it is not an exhaustive list, but I think it is a good start.
