9:18	mwecker:  @ohxjulie use Hootsuite and create a column for it! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:18 mwecker

9:20	mwecker:  totally agree w @catholicsme's point on #chsocm about "enormous power of listening when it comes to the social web." [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:20 mwecker

9:20	MeredithGould:  Remember that Twitter, FB, blogs are only tools & must be used strategically w/other tools (e.g. print newsletters) #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:20 MeredithGould

9:20	catholicsme:  T1 letting go of control of the message. and focusing on the messages of others before sending msg. "seek first to understand" #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:20 catholicsme

9:21	ecwiscott:  digital and social media is a must. replaces newspaper and phonebook ads. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:21 ecwiscott

9:22	RevWeb:  We use SM to advise attendees of tailgate Eucharist location in Ravens' parking lot at Sunday a.m. home games. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:22 RevWeb

9:23	theologybird:  Are there messages that can't be compromised? Seems like history, and current news, is full of exceptions. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:23 theologybird

9:24	fsantoni:  It's nice when social media leads us 2 affinity groups like this 1, but none of us would call this "community" in the faith sense #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:24 fsantoni

9:24	pinkpaddler:  #chsocm print a total waste of my pledge dollars [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:24 pinkpaddler

9:25	iamepiscopalian:  @rev_david People used to say, why use the ATM? I can just walk in to the teller and get money. Change comes hard to some. #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:25 iamepiscopalian

9:25	ecwiscott:  @theologybird previous administration at my church scolded us for using social media in the home. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:25 ecwiscott

9:25	MeredithGould:  @fsantoni "none of us"? Maybe not a faith community but a community building around communicating faith, I believe #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:25 MeredithGould

9:25	TrinityLimeRock:  @fsantoni Dunno about that. I'm not sure why not. Can you explain further? #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:25 TrinityLimeRock

9:25	Denise205:  @CatholicMeme Welcome! Glad to see you here. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:25 Denise205

9:26	TrinityLimeRock:  @pinkpaddler that's been my recent experience as well #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:26 TrinityLimeRock

9:27	fsantoni:  @MeredithGould sure, but not the "Christian community" folks in pastoral roles hope to cultivate... #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:27 fsantoni

9:27	theologybird:  @mwecker @theologybird It's a good goal, I just also see it as unlikely. fund problem with communication. what I say/you hear stuff #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:27 theologybird

9:27	MeredithGould:  @fsantoni And you know that....because? how? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:27 MeredithGould

9:27	pinkpaddler:  @TrinityLimeRock I now refuse to design print ads #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:27 pinkpaddler

9:28	rev_david:  @fsantoni @MeredithGould I have had members & neighbors request pastoral convos over SM - intimate, important conversations #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:28 rev_david

9:28	TrinityLimeRock:  @pinkpaddler YES!!!! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:28 TrinityLimeRock

9:29	RevWeb:  Defo community. Found that w/emails 7 years ago. Met folks IRL after months online. Like meeting and old friend. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:29 RevWeb

9:29	fsantoni:  @TrinityLimeRock at its best SM ought to help express a shared life that exists in community. SM allows for public witness of it. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:29 fsantoni

9:29	iamepiscopalian:  @pinkpaddler @TrinityLimeRock Printed materials are a tough call. So many are still doing bulletins for Sundays. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:29 iamepiscopalian

9:30	TrinityLimeRock:  @RevWeb Yes, same experience. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:30 TrinityLimeRock

9:30	fsantoni:  @rev_david I had those late night convos via Facebook with college students looking for support, encouragement <--- sacred moments #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:30 fsantoni

9:31	chsocm:  Well, T1 has morphed into a lively discussion! T2 is akin to the question about what needs to be in place. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:31 chsocm

9:31	TrinityLimeRock:  @iamepiscopalian @pinkpaddler Bulletins are once thing. We no longer have inserts. Bulletins help newcomers. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:31 TrinityLimeRock

9:31	pinkpaddler:  @iamepiscopalian @trinitylimerock I am talking about some still wanting to do newspaper ads or service listings #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:31 pinkpaddler

9:32	fsantoni:  @MeredithGould Ahh, the limits of 140 characters! My intent was not to diminish the "community" formed by affinity groups like ours #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:32 fsantoni

9:32	theologybird:  RT @rev_david: I have had members & neighbors request pastoral convos over SM - intimate, important conversations #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:32 theologybird

9:32	pinkpaddler:  #chsocm I am a former print journalist who never read the ads [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:32 pinkpaddler

9:33	MeredithGould:  @fsantoni ;-) I'm a short-copy kind of gal, so I adore the 140 char limit!! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:33 MeredithGould

9:33	ecwiscott:  @theologybird new administration is 180 degrees different. Trying to blend SM and technology. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:33 ecwiscott

9:33	mwecker:  T2 #chsocm as someone always on lookout for good podcasted sermons, it'd help if those were prominent & easy to find... [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:33 mwecker

9:34	chsocm:  @mwecker Easier to find podcasted sermons...or social media consultants? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:34 chsocm

9:34	theologybird:  @ecwiscott Good to hear! Thankfully, change does come. Unfortunately often only after people have been hurt or have bad stories. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:34 theologybird

9:34	adambowersmedia:  @chsocm T2 when you feel like you need help getting started or just have no interest in doing social media yourself #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:34 adambowersmedia

9:34	mwecker:  sorry #chsocm folks. didn't mean to include T2. that was still on 1... [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:34 mwecker

9:34	fsantoni:  @MeredithGould I'm long-winded & wordy! I was trying 2 make point abt "content marketing" having value 4 churches...never got there #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:34 fsantoni

9:35	iamepiscopalian:  RT @TrinityLimeRock: @pinkpaddler 100% of new faces in recent years came due to website. NONE due to print adverts. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:35 iamepiscopalian

9:35	RevWeb:  T2 May not be professional consultant. That may be the younger members as example to others on how SM works. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:35 RevWeb

9:35	TrinityLimeRock:  @mwecker unfortunately the statistics don't show people read the sermons at our house. Maybe podcasts? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:35 TrinityLimeRock

9:35	iamepiscopalian:  T2: Likely not at all. Just sayin. #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:35 iamepiscopalian

9:36	rev_david:  T2 - That would be the pastor :) #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:36 rev_david

9:36	TrinityLimeRock:  @theologybird I will suggest that to our Vicar.....thx!! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:36 TrinityLimeRock

9:36	MeredithGould:  @iamepiscopalian Interesting because...oh, never mind! ;-) #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:36 MeredithGould

9:37	adambowersmedia:  @chsocm T2 even when you don't feel like you have the expertise or interest? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:37 adambowersmedia

9:37	iamepiscopalian:  @MeredithGould What? #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:37 iamepiscopalian

9:37	RevWeb:  @rev_david T2 Maybe not pastor. May be SM users become leaders in using this new ministry w/out pastor's imprimatur. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:37 RevWeb

9:37	MeredithGould:  @iamepiscopalian Don't national churches and dioceses routinely hire consultants? I was hired by a RC diocese years ago. #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:37 MeredithGould

9:38	mwecker:  T2 #chsocm the folks @marshill (or @pastormark) could confirm this, but I think they get congregants to donate their time as consultants [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:38 mwecker

9:38	sinden:  T2 I think many of the "outside consultants" may be youth and young adults in our parishes who understand SM and can teach #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:38 sinden

9:38	theologybird:  @TrinityLimeRock no problem! the link on my profile goes to the site which hosts my podcasts. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:38 theologybird

9:38	MeredithGould:  @iamepiscopalian But that was for a huge project that they knew they couldn't handle in-house. #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:38 MeredithGould

9:38	fsantoni:  T2: I'm banking on it. Hung my shingle 4 months ago! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:38 fsantoni

9:39	iamepiscopalian:  @MeredithGould Oh, sure. If there is $$ sure. We're talking local church level and budget. #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:39 iamepiscopalian

9:39	rev_david:  T2 - I'm doing a series of workshops for other leaders in the synod, teaching other leaders about SM #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:39 rev_david

9:39	TrinityLimeRock:  @ecwiscott Yup I am heavy into stats and have a pretty good grasp of who is reading what. Maybe just an unholy crew #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:39 TrinityLimeRock

9:39	fsantoni:  Parish hired me to strategize & implement online tools for community sharing: photo directory, small groups, social media #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:39 fsantoni

9:40	rev_david:  T2 Would not call myself a consultant or expert, but happy to share what I know #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:40 rev_david

9:40	adambowersmedia:  T2 It's becoming more and more apparent to me that churches want to do this themselves, don't trust outsiders, view it as ministry #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:40 adambowersmedia

9:40	skypilotofhope:  RT @rev_david: I'm doing a series of workshops for other leaders in the synod, teaching other leaders about SM #ChSocM // Can u come my way? [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:40 skypilotofhope

9:40	MeredithGould:  I've worked at parishes where communications professionals donated time as ministry & service. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:40 MeredithGould

9:41	iamepiscopalian:  @MeredithGould T2: We have contracted with a few vendors for development and media monitoring. #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:41 iamepiscopalian

9:41	fsantoni:  T2: I think there is value to the consultant that can "speak church" #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:41 fsantoni

9:41	TrinityLimeRock:  @adambowersmedia Yup, insider, doing it as ministry. Feel some affirmation at that. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:41 TrinityLimeRock

9:41	sinden:  Jamie Coats of @SSJE spoke of young people as “an ‘Altar Guild’ of nerds” at @endowedparishes conference #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:41 sinden

9:41	Denise205:  @adambowersmedia And it should be a ministry! But some ministers are professionals and others volunteers. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:41 Denise205

9:42	iamepiscopalian:  RT @fsantoni: T2: I think there is value to the consultant that can "speak church" #chsocm // That's tough to find one. [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:42 iamepiscopalian

9:42	MeredithGould:  @rev_david Just don't call yourself a guru, ninja or Jedi. #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:42 MeredithGould

9:42	DanielsWall:  @chsocm T2 when you want/need extremely effective social media. Church plants specifically. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:42 DanielsWall

9:43	Denise205:  @chsocm @sinden We can't limit the ministry to young people though. I know some older people doing social media well too! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:43 Denise205

9:43	TrinityLimeRock:  @chsocm @sinden @SSJE @endowedparishes I like the altar guild of nerds. Been using kids for this as long as I've been involved. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:43 TrinityLimeRock

9:43	Denise205:  That said, it might be a way to invite younger people into new ministry roles. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:43 Denise205

9:44	expatminister:  @rev_david no. Only if you put "guru." or "futurist." #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:44 expatminister

9:44	iamepiscopalian:  Uh, how do we feel about sales bots in here? #Chsocm #NotDiggingIt [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:44 iamepiscopalian

9:44	rev_david:  T2 On synodical/diocesan level, a consultant makes sense. Hard to justify for most congregations. #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:44 rev_david

9:45	chsocm:  Oh my! It's 9:45 already! Want to dip into T3? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:45 chsocm

9:45	CSOWW_Tim_Tech:  RT @CathTechTalk: RT @prkanderson: Church and social media tweetchat tonight at 9EST on #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:45 CSOWW_Tim_Tech

9:46	Denise205:  @theologybird @MeredithGould Exactly! This is not an age-specific ministry! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:46 Denise205

9:46	rev_david:  @iamepiscopalian I haven't seen them. Sales bots are an abomination unto the Lord #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:46 rev_david

9:46	adambowersmedia:  @fsantoni That's awesome. There's definitely a huge need for that! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:46 adambowersmedia

9:46	rmkinma:  A great way to get the new generation involved in church ministry is to ask them for help in steering twitter and FB presence. #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:46 rmkinma

9:47	chsocm:  So that would be a "no" to taking a look at QR codes tonight? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:47 chsocm

9:47	fsantoni:  @MeredithGould bingo. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:47 fsantoni

9:47	MeredithGould:  @fsantoni Talk Catholic to me! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:47 MeredithGould

9:48	RevWeb:  @chsocm May need more time for QR codes. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:48 RevWeb

9:48	fsantoni:  @iamepiscopalian where? who? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:48 fsantoni

9:48	TrinityLimeRock:  @chsocm I would like to learn more - have not used them #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:48 TrinityLimeRock

9:48	bmerer:  @chsocm I'll go there. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:48 bmerer

9:48	mwecker:  @chsocm would be interested to hear who's using them (and wonder if any "pretty" ones like these http://ow.ly/5O8et w church themes) #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:48 mwecker

9:49	chsocm:  Will post info on the blogsite about QR codes, meanwhile: #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:49 chsocm

9:49	rev_david:  re: QR Codes - it intrigues me, but I haven't tried anything with them yet. #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:49 rev_david

9:49	mwthink:  RT @TheVermontHick: Was Jesus merely a Day Laborer who loved prostitutes and wine? We are all more than the sum of our parts. #chsocm #noh8 [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:49 mwthink

9:49	iamepiscopalian:  Here is one from us from last week: http://iam.ec/ricum6 Scroll down to bottom. #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:49 iamepiscopalian

9:50	chsocm:  T3 QR codes (quick response) that cell phones can scan to read info are being adopted. How might churches use them? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:50 chsocm

9:50	TrinityLimeRock:  @chsocm our prob: lousy cell reception in area, many including me do not have much besides basic cell svc. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:50 TrinityLimeRock

9:50	Denise205:  @iamepiscopalian and what did that open for QR users? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:50 Denise205

9:51	theologybird:  @chsocm What if you had a pretty QR code on your business card instead of just the website? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:51 theologybird

9:51	TrinityLimeRock:  @chsocm OK we are across street from Lime Rock Park (car race track) and lots check in there but few at our house. any help? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:51 TrinityLimeRock

9:51	iamepiscopalian:  @Denise205 Detailed info from the article in the insert. We've done video, art, etc. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:51 iamepiscopalian

9:52	rev_david:  T3 My prob with QR codes is that so many of my ppl use very basic cell phones (Did you know you can make phone calls on them?!?) #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:52 rev_david

9:52	CatholicMeme:  T2 Consultant needs to work w/church leadership *and* current SM users in church. Decide plan, strategy & tactics all together. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:52 CatholicMeme

9:53	fsantoni:  @iamepiscopalian Compliments 2 u 7 your folks re: your recent whitepaper on SM & deal with Ekklesia 360...would love 2 hear more #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:53 fsantoni

9:53	pinkpaddler:  #Chsocm if your church is into social media, do people show up at your church expecting PowerPoint and light shows? [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:53 pinkpaddler

9:53	theologybird:  @rev_david Wait! My hand computer makes phone calls too! What a gadget. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:53 theologybird

9:53	klamach:  T3 flyers for events at your church #Chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:53 klamach

9:54	Anj121:  T3 I put a QR on my office door and waited for co-workers to ask me what it was. Most didn't know but gr8 convo starter! #chsocm #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:54 Anj121

9:54	iamepiscopalian:  @TrinityLimeRock Yeah, and we're trying to experiment with all this cool stuff. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:54 iamepiscopalian

9:55	Denise205:  @TrinityLimeRock @iamepiscopalian Definite learning curve on that, but for those who are tech-saavy, QR worth trying. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:55 Denise205

9:55	mwecker:  @anj121 ha! did any try 5o scan after the conversation? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:55 mwecker

9:55	MeredithGould:  @fsantoni I do <3 Slideshare #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:55 MeredithGould

9:55	pinkpaddler:  @MeredithGould my point is we still have a fairly trad worship experience #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:55 pinkpaddler

9:55	Anj121:  We created a poster for parishes/schools of all our media sites. I intended to include the QR Code but maybe next time. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:55 Anj121

9:55	MeredithGould:  @pinkpaddler Ah...got it. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:55 MeredithGould

9:55	mwecker:  @anj121 ha! did any try to scan after the conversation? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:55 mwecker

9:56	Denise205:  @Anj121 Fun idea! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:56 Denise205

9:56	Anj121:  @mwecker Yes! I was a great way to teach the curious with smart phones! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:56 Anj121

9:56	DanielsWall:  @pinkpaddler I don't think so... I think social media can be a reflection of your church culture #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:56 DanielsWall

9:57	mwecker:  @anj121 and what did you have the code point them to? do you have colleagues who also use them or just you? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:57 mwecker

9:57	Denise205:  @iamepiscopalian I'm with you on that. And QR can take people to deep links, not just home page, which is big benefit! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:57 Denise205

9:57	TrinityLimeRock:  @rmkinma @iamepiscopalian Good. Tell me where I can take it if I do it. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:57 TrinityLimeRock

9:57	iamepiscopalian:  @Denise205 Bingo. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:57 iamepiscopalian

9:59	Anj121:  @mwecker It pointed to our website. I have a couple of others who are trying to push the ceiling and I have a supportive boss! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:59 Anj121

9:59	TrinityLimeRock:  @chsocm WOW! Glad I stopped by! THX to all! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 26, 2011 9:59 TrinityLimeRock
