Michael Hyatt Blog : Should You Consider Self-Publishing?

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:20:34 +0000

that's super news, after looking at so many of the other self publishing companies out there I am thrilled to see one that is closely related to Thomas Nelson, way to go guys...

Michael Hyatt Blog : 12 Reasons to Start Twittering

I have met more people through twitter than any other online network, and everything can be tailored to your specific interests and skills, great article

ChurchCrunch : Designers Are Everywhere... So Which One Do You Pick?

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 13:33:14 +0000

there is a lot in picking the right company or person... we first went with a large (Christian) company to later get screwed by said company and went with an individual who did exactly what we needed for less, it is a tricky business (finding a good designer/developer).

ChurchCrunch : Christian Blogs Suck.

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:24:25 +0000

I would say it's the same reason why a lot of Christian music sucks when you compare it to the historically great musicians of our day like The Doors, Led Zepplin, or perhaps The Beatles and the like... they wrote lyrics about real life, about things that everyone struggles with where Christian music writes lyrics that only Christian people can understand but still only pertains to the ones living out the most purist of lives. That is why you and so many like Carol's blog, it's real. I try to stay away from the stereotypical "Christian" blog lingo on my own blog to appeal to regular readers, but mine probably still sucks too :)

ChurchCrunch : The Catholic Church Goes to China Online

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:43:09 +0000

I need to connect you with a guy from our church who lives in China, I'll send him your site in case he doesn't already read it but he is pretty deep into the church culture in China.

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : Russia Considering Dangerous Deals?

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:03:26 +0000

I agree with some of the other comments here, Russia is testing the new administration and will keep pushing and pushing to see how far they can go... putting bombers or missiles in Cuba and Venezuela sounds a lot like what happened back in the 1960's... surely we learned something from that

ChurchCrunch : Seth Godin Needs to Drink His Own Medicine

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:02:44 +0000

well you just happen to hit on one of my biggest pet peeves ever about a blog... John Piper comes to mind immediately, but there are a few pastors that don't allow comments, and I rarely read their blogs. I wrote a post a while back called "5 Steps on How to Improve a Blog in 2009" (sorry for the self plug http://twurl.nl/6x2d2u ) and that was the last bit of my rant, allowing comments. It doesn't bring out any positive feelings in your readers minds (at least not my mind) to not allow comments, and I rarely read blogs that don't allow comments (Seth's would be the exception but I still don't care for it).

ChurchCrunch : ScribbleLive is Serious Live Blogging

Fri, 6 Mar 2009 17:47:26 +0000

that's GREAT, I knew Tony Morgan was using it that day, just didn't know what platform he was working with, that would be a lot better than flooding my twitter followers with a continuous stream of content for a conference but also acts like a note-taker, cool stuff

Human3rror : Killing Cockroaches is Like Popping Zits

Tue, 3 Mar 2009 15:37:20 +0000

I would say nice review man, but that made me a little squeamish, more so than the cockroaches :) Great book though, am almost half way through at this point.

ChurchCrunch : 5 Step Plan for Social Media Ministry

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 19:53:46 +0000

that was well said, and I wish I had a chance to talk to you a little more about these issues on Thursday but I couldn't find a spare minute to get with you. By the time the Off the Blogs started I was totally beat. Good points here, I am just trying to figure out what the "next step" is from here

Nuvement : We may have elected the Wrong President

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:37:42 +0000

I had totally forgotten about that site, they have some real winners over there, I may have to re-post your idea on my blog using a different video, some of these are hilarious

ChurchCrunch : 7 Reasons Why Churches Struggle with Social Media

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 12:44:28 +0000

I love it when churches get scared of something called "social" media / network. What is a church but a social network (ok ok, I know it is a lot more than that)? It is social, there are usually a lot of people there at the church itself (or at least more than at your own house)... and at times other than perhaps at the very second the pastor is preaching, aren't you networking? Networking doesn't have to mean "business", we network for the Body as a whole. Nice job on this one.

Human3rror : Twit-B*tching - Bad Idea Guys

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 13:04:08 +0000

sorry, the photo threw me off, I have read your blog for some time... hope to still see you around on twitter though, I do find your tweets interesting :)

Human3rror : Twit-B*tching - Bad Idea Guys

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 13:02:49 +0000

interesting post, and I agree that we should not be using twitter to blast others, but I haven't really found that to be the case when I compare it to other online social media forms or other forums in general. I have found most followers to be very helpful and uplifting but I guess it is all in who you follow. I am very aware myself of several non-Believers that follow me on twitter (and my blog for that matter) and I would hope nothing I did or said would bring down the Church as a whole, but I am sure that is not always the case. Nice to read your post though to keep some perspective although I don't think getting off twitter will do anything other than deprive your followers of your insight... having just found your blog I would assume there are many who find your comments insightful :)

I just found out yesterday that I am going to be able to come out to the Off the Blogs meeting after Catalyst One Day, can't wait. Welcome to the blog Crystal, can't wait to see what's ahead.
