Uniting prayer and technology
On October 2nd Shan Smith and I will be presenting a one hour session at the Midwest Prayer Conference. I’m unofficially titling the session “Uniting prayer and technology.” Can you guess what it’s about?
In today’s super connected world, if you’re a church, you MUST have an online presence of some kind. You MUST have a Facebook page and a church website. And, because of this, it’s only natural to extend this technological footprint into the world of prayer.
My question to you is this: has technology affected your prayer life? Ever texted someone asking for prayer, or been texted with a prayer request? Taken part in an online prayer event? Prayed for someone because of something you’ve seen on Facebook or Twitter?
Let me know by clicking here and leaving a comment. I’d love to hear from you!
Introducing Google Buzz
What is Google Buzz?
Think Twitter and Facebook updates sprinkled with goodness from such sites as Picasa, Flickr, Gowalla and Foursquare.
If you have an iPhone or Android phone go to http://buzz.google.com on your phone’s browser to get started.
Otherwise you can connect to Buzz right inside Gmail.
Don’t have Gmail? You should fix that.
Can Buzz kill the others to reign supreme? We’ll see.
Twitter + Facebook = Seesmic
Short and sweet. If you use both Twitter and Facebook you should be using Seesmic Desktop.
Why?
- It looks good and doesn’t use a lot of memory
- User lists – you can make lists of users to be sure you don’t miss their tweets
- Facebook status – update your Facebook status from within Seesmic
- Facebook comments – someone comments on your status? You can comment right back from within Seesmic (no having to log in to Facebook)
But, what do I know? Try Seesmic Desktop for yourself, follow me on Twitter then let me know what you think.
