9:42	Steven Fogg @Stevefogg @singingcarolyn Agreed. I think its a fallacy to think to 'be social' you have to be there all the time. Unless you have comm mgt. #chsocm Tuesday April 30, 2013 9:42 Stevefogg

9:42	Denise Gorss @Denise205 @rev_david Hyper visual? I think of it more as story-telling visual. #chsocm Tuesday April 30, 2013 9:42 Denise205

9:42	Cheryl K.@LuckyCharm333 @nmcubbie Now there's an idea -- Twitter account for my dog. #chsocm Tuesday April 30, 2013 9:42 LuckyCharm333

9:42	MeredithGould @MeredithGould @anna_r Reason: the church had no strategy, no clear message, no audience, & no content that made sense! #chsocm Tuesday April 30, 2013 9:42 MeredithGould

9:42	Paul Steinbrueck @paulsteinbrueck @ohxjulie Really? I've been logging out/in on w Twitter. Didn't know there was an easier way. #chsocm Tuesday April 30, 2013 9:42 paulsteinbrueck
