It's also worth pointing out that there are a lot of things social media (as opposed to Web 1.0) is really not good for, like boosting Sunday attendance or boosting gifts to the church. Really, social media is only essential for speakers (especially inspirational speakers), comedians, actors, artists, and writers. Most everyone else can get by with just a website of one sort or another and an email address.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13323740465436735706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467092921624269928.post-38370204457151205462014-02-18T17:13:45.255-05:002014-02-18T17:13:45.255-05:00Sarah - yes, that's another piece of the resis...Sarah - yes, that's another piece of the resistance puzzle and Meredith - I think the debate is cover for "But we've never done it this way before."

How will it look? If they can't do it perfectly, they won't do it at all. Especially if it's open to comment.Sarah SSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800966903282350022noreply@blogger.com
