9:14	Denise205:  @paulsteinbrueck No, it won't be! ;) #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:14 Denise205

9:19	drothamel:  Depending on distribution size, printed newsletters can be cost prohibitive, and even a poor use of resources. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:19 drothamel

9:19	MeredithGould:  @paulsteinbrueck What will differentiate the enewsletter? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:19 MeredithGould

9:20	youravgpastor:  @EmilySO I'm not sure they will come together well...so many of my folks are barely, if at all online. But I just keep trying. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:20 youravgpastor

9:20	rev_david:  Amen! MT @bethalewis: In transition time & must use a variety of media types to reach various audiences. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:20 rev_david

9:22	EmilySO:  T1 Sounds like we deal with two challenges - creating integrated content that moves from platform to platform & consistent delivery #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:22 EmilySO

9:22	LinkingLives:  People love to walk away with something to feel and read on paper. #SM hasn't totally replaced paper, it's still the supplement. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:22 LinkingLives

9:23	EmilySO:  Been battling that! RT @drothamel: If your newsletter isn't any different than your bulletin, one of them needs to go. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:23 EmilySO

9:23	drothamel:  @thecatholiccoup my church does both. We actually send out the bulletin each week via email, and then hand them out on Sunday. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:23 drothamel

9:23	pinkpaddler:  @LinkingLives I admit I still love a big fat Sunday paper. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:23 pinkpaddler

9:23	youravgpastor:  @ECCSonline I appreciate columnists/reporters who engage socmedia audience. That is a big deal in the transition from old-new media #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:23 youravgpastor

9:24	thecatholiccoup:  @drothamel I was just thinking the bulletin needs to be started emailing to people #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:24 thecatholiccoup

9:24	CharlotteElia:  Our newsletter takes 3 weeks to get from submission deadline to mailbox. Newsletter needs to be articles; SocM should be news. #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:24 CharlotteElia

9:24	youravgpastor:  @RevWeb LOL "Committee news good for print" #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday November 1, 2011 9:24 youravgpastor
