Twitter. I have mentioned it before and will continue to do so for a while. Email is “dead” and updating a “hotline” is time consuming and frustrating too.<br /><br />I just read a great article on ways to use Twitter for your ministry. <a href="http://www.twitip.com/twitter-for-churches-and-non-profit-organizations/">check out this blog.</a> &lt;---click here. A few highlights: show live tweets at your events; post weather related updates; get people to read your blog.<br /><br />This is a fun and interactive medium that may be worth your time at least to check out. You can also post updates to your website and have parents check the website on when you will be returning, etc. from an event.<br /><br />Also check out <a href="http://twitter.com/">twitter.com</a> for more about what twitter is.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7300604806278622751-1694034757954755674?l=allianceyouthpnw.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erik Williamsnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300604806278622751.post-60586574834379673062009-03-11T09:44:00.001-07:002009-03-11T09:44:44.173-07:00Obviously you see that the blog is in the same spot as it has always been, but we have embedded our blogger site on here so you can leave comments. It has much more functionality. Of course, I am always learning more about web stuff so I am sure this will change in the future when I figure out how to do this better.<br /><br />Please feel free to comment anytime and let us know what you think. <br /><br />Join the conversation.<br /><br />Add to what is being said.<br /><br />Leave others with something of value.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7300604806278622751-6058657483437967306?l=allianceyouthpnw.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erik Williamsnoreply@blogger.com0
