The topics:
T1: How would you define a “meaningful” relationship? How has social media changed that definition for you?
T2: How does the Dunbar Number help you think about or understand relationships generated on & sustained by #chsocm?
T2a: How does the number 150 align with your personal experience of using social media to build church & faith?
T2b: Is this a useful number to use for ministry online or offline? If so, how so?
T3: What will you do with FB’s latest changes? How will they make it easier to use for #chsocm?
T4: Now that we’re two weeks into 2013, any new plans for using #chsocm?

Tonight's chat moderated by Meredith Gould (@meredithgould)
