9:53	queerchurch:  RT @rampracer: T3 keep a spiritual balance and remember its a tool , don't make it into more than that. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:53 queerchurch

9:53	pastorbecca:  T3: apart from 1 staff person, I don't have other buy in/volunteers posting. Hard to have a plan for just yourself. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:53 pastorbecca

9:53	rampracer:  RT @paulsteinbrueck: @chsocm T3: Burnout comes from poor boundaries. Have a #SM plan & stick to it. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:53 rampracer

9:54	naaho:  @chsocm I am all about collaboration too - i.e. many people helping and platforms that integrate #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:54 naaho

9:54	pastorbecca:  T3- so I guard personal boundaries-- not during family time. Even husband is asleep now, or I wouldn't be chatting here. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:54 pastorbecca

9:54	rudolph_reyes2:  @paulsteinbrueck Yes, something I need to develop. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:54 rudolph_reyes2

9:55	singingcarolyn:  It's helped to ask parishioners to respond. Tell them the benefits (SEO, outreach) to having active site/page etc and they engage. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:55 singingcarolyn

9:55	paulsteinbrueck:  @daryndez Good point. Don't try to do it alone. Develop a social media team. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:55 paulsteinbrueck

9:56	chsocm:  Would you believe we're almost at the hour? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:56 chsocm

9:56	youravgpastor:  @rampracer Seth Godin doesn't tweet, blogs once per day. My favorite content producer. #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:56 youravgpastor

9:56	LuckyCharm333:  I made up a whole "fun fact" sheet about our stats & Internet/SM use in general, & am constantly asking for content. *sigh* #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:56 LuckyCharm333

9:56	naaho:  @rampracer Great point! true for more than just sm too! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:56 naaho

9:57	LuckyCharm333:  Maybe after Meredith's workshop, we'll have more buy-in for a SM team. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:57 LuckyCharm333

9:57	RevEverett:  T3: re:blogging via @Prkanderson & @Click2Save start by posting the content already have (sermon/ newsletter), before creating new #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:57 RevEverett

9:57	pastorbecca:  definitely strive for quality over quantity! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:57 pastorbecca

9:57	MeredithGould:  @LuckyCharm333 You'd be constantly asking for content if you were "only" editing a print pub #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:57 MeredithGould

9:57	LuckyCharm333:  RT @rampracer: T3 Less can be more if its quality // Amen! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:57 LuckyCharm333

9:57	daryndez:  Blogs are key! Need to drive traffic to longer articles. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:57 daryndez

9:57	naaho:  @LuckyCharm333 maybe it's too much like work instead of conversation? that would be burnout for me too #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:57 naaho

9:58	chsocm:  Closing thoughts as we come up on the hour & before we end with prayer? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:58 chsocm

9:59	LuckyCharm333:  RT @naaho: @LuckyCharm333 maybe its too much like work instead of conversation? // Hard 2 have convo when no one responds. :-( #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:59 LuckyCharm333
