9:49	LuckyCharm333:  <-- still unsure of how Pinterest works as a network. Should check it out more... #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:49 LuckyCharm333

9:49	alanrud:  @chsocm T3: Ask more questions to grab SM interest #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:49 alanrud

9:49	MeredithGould:  @smshepherds Agree. Websites are generally...not great. Okay, they're usually a mess. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:49 MeredithGould

9:49	skenow:  @smshepherds What if Pinterest is the right channel for them? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:49 skenow

9:50	revjimmoss:  @paulsteinbrueck @LuckyCharm333 We need to reach out and let them know they are not forgotten. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:50 revjimmoss

9:50	LuckyCharm333:  @revjimmoss That's why I think it takes a ministry team. I just don't have time myself to duplicate efforts. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:50 LuckyCharm333

9:50	JustinWise:  T3: Many churches are realizing that starting w/social media is a bad, bad idea. Puts stress on every other comm. area. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:50 JustinWise

9:50	chsocm:  Keep the convo going & note that next week we're going to zoom in on the future of this chat and --> #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:50 chsocm

9:51	ofredrick:  AMEN!! MT @smshepherds: issue with Pinterest is churches havent yet mastered website, Facebook before registering ANOTHER CHANNEL #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:51 ofredrick

9:51	smshepherds:  T3 @kevinhendricks had some good advice, "If your church isn't doing cool things in social and you notice/care, you should fix it." #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:51 smshepherds

9:51	MeredithGould:  @JustinWise Starting w/social media: tail wagging the dog, in many instances. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:51 MeredithGould

9:51	skenow:  @LuckyCharm333 start a fire in the basement if you want to get ppl moving #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:51 skenow

9:51	Denise205:  @skenow Pick PInterest over other social media channel, if that makes sense, but not over a primary website/blog. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:51 Denise205

9:51	revjimmoss:  @LuckyCharm333 Certainly. In larger churches that is more practical. In small church, pastor has to wear many communication hats. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:51 revjimmoss

9:52	MeredithGould:  T2 I've been recommending that churches /dioceses/synods let their Twitter feeds go dark until they develop integrated strategy. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:52 MeredithGould

9:52	JustinWise:  T3: When churches dive into soc. med w/no website strategy, cracks become gaping holes. SM = outposts. Website = homebase! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:52 JustinWise

9:52	LuckyCharm333:  RT @MeredithGould Starting w/social media: tail wagging the dog, in many instances. //Amen. Church needs 2 B social to begin with. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:52 LuckyCharm333

9:52	smshepherds:  @skenow Then they'll excel. Issue is many orgs don't have social media policy, content/community management strategy for channels #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:52 smshepherds

9:52	Denise205:  Need a primary channel owned by the org, not dependent on whether a given social medium makes it to the next year. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:52 Denise205

9:53	smshepherds:  RT @MeredithGould: T3 Encouraging churches to look at cross-platform integration & (rampant) disconnects between #chsocm and website. [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:53 smshepherds

9:53	mirgray:  @MeredithGould And a big overlap with the workplace of the future, future leadership, social business crowds. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:53 mirgray

9:53	MeredithGould:  @JustinWise Agree & I'd add to that a communications strategy in general b/c the website is yet another tool. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:53 MeredithGould

9:53	MeredithGould:  RT @Denise205: Need a primary channel owned by the org, not dependent on whether a given social medium makes it to the next year. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:53 MeredithGould

9:53	paulsteinbrueck:  RT @JustinWise: T3: When churches dive into #sm w/no website strategy, cracks become gaping holes. SM=outposts. Website=homebase! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:53 paulsteinbrueck

9:54	LuckyCharm333:  @revjimmoss IMHO, getting ppl involved in SM is not only ministry to outside world, but to them too. Expands horizons, overcome fear #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:54 LuckyCharm333

9:54	ofredrick:  @MeredithGould Preach it! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:54 ofredrick

9:54	MeredithGould:  @mirgray Yep. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:54 MeredithGould

9:54	smshepherds:  @MeredithGould That's a great recommendation. It's okay to pause things until you can do them well. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:54 smshepherds

9:54	skenow:  @smshepherds I agree, to a great extent. A bigger problem is thinking programmatically. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:54 skenow

9:54	chsocm:  T3 refresher: what are you doing *differently*? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:54 chsocm

9:54	LuckyCharm333:  RT @smshepherds: @MeredithGould Thats a great recommendation. Its okay to pause things until you can do them well. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:54 LuckyCharm333

9:55	MeredithGould:  @ofredrick ;-) My hands are lifted on high...while I'm typing. Picture it! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:55 MeredithGould

9:55	JustinWise:  @MeredithGould Without a doubt. Website sits on top of comm strategy. But many churches haven't bothered with that either! :| #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:55 JustinWise

9:55	paulsteinbrueck:  @MeredithGould I think the website is more than "just another" tool but should serve as the central hub as @JustinWise said. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:55 paulsteinbrueck

9:56	revjimmoss:  @MeredithGould @ofredrick Keyboard on the ceiling? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:56 revjimmoss

9:56	christinaauch:  @chsocm T3: Teaching. Not just sending a hashtag, but actually being online w/ them & showing how to engage stuff they care about #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:56 christinaauch

9:56	skenow:  MT @Denise205: @skenow Pick ,,, over other sm channel, if that makes sense, but not over a primary website/blog. // phone# b4 yp #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:56 skenow

9:56	jonassink:  @paulsteinbrueck @MeredithGould @JustinWise website drives traffic to social media channels, which should point back home, yes. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:56 jonassink

9:56	MeredithGould:  @paulsteinbrueck @JustinWise We're in "violent agreement." Website is hub but w/o a comprehensive strategy, it can be near-worthless #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:56 MeredithGould

9:56	RevWeb:  T3Refresh: Agree w/@Denise205, am here. Chat is continuing ed. for me. That's different. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:56 RevWeb

9:57	MeredithGould:  @jonassink @paulsteinbrueck @JustinWise Right: vectors go both ways AND must be anchored within strategy/identity, etc. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:57 MeredithGould

9:57	MeredithGould:  @ofredrick Please do! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:57 MeredithGould

9:57	JustinWise:  @MeredithGould I would be happy if people would simply put down, "Our comm. strategy is to help people get informed better." Done! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:57 JustinWise

9:57	chsocm:  Wowee! Coming up on the hour already. Time for final thoughts about this past year. Go! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:57 chsocm

9:58	froggent:  One thing I do differently now, I purpose think about the fact that I have multiple channels that I need to communicate through. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:58 froggent

9:58	MeredithGould:  @paulsteinbrueck Is that the game with the pointy ball or the one with stripes? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:58 MeredithGould

9:58	skenow:  @JustinWise @PaulSteinbrueck @MeredithGould But, a website is still just a strategy and not an objective #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:58 skenow

9:59	smshepherds:  @chsocm In real life (IRL) conversations about social media are one of the most rewarding things you can do "differently." #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday July 3, 2012 9:59 smshepherds
