9:11	Dan Webster@RevWeb T1 Alas many #Episcopal clergy get going on theological hair splitting. I go for the conditioner; photos, prayers, hope quotes. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:11 RevWeb

9:11	AZ Rork@azrork I have a T1b ready...and it's getting closer to our real topic tonight. Here we go... #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:11 azrork

9:11	Ed Kay@edkay77 @PastorJoelle @azrork Yuk. I'm not much of a fan of institutions/churches posting more than the occasional meme #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:11 edkay77

9:12	Amber Stamper@AmberStamperPhD Are images popular for y'all even on Twitter? Seems like sometimes I scroll by them b/c there's no preview of what I'll be getting #ChSocM Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:12 AmberStamperPhD

9:12	AZ Rork@azrork T1b: So where do you look for inspiration for these types of posts? #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:12 azrork

9:12	MeredithGould@MeredithGould Make my point about the ascendency of visual social media! #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:12 MeredithGould

9:12	Laura Catalano@LeistCatalano Wow 2000 views! @PastorJoelle was that on a blog or pinterest? #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:12 LeistCatalano

9:12	Julie@ohxjulie T1: People also love updates about current & former students/faculty/staff who are doing cool things in ministry #ChSocM Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:12 ohxjulie

9:12	MeredithGould@MeredithGould RT @azrork T1b: So where do you look for inspiration for these types of posts? #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:12 MeredithGould

9:12	AZ Rork@azrork @PastorJoelle I don’t think I’ve ever done memes for @FPCGV. But I don’t see why not! #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:12 azrork

9:13	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @azrork Where do I find the content or where do I look at the content? #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:13 MeredithGould

9:13	Carolyn Clement@singingcarolyn T1: FB: photos (especially if they get tagged) #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:13 singingcarolyn

9:13	Ed Kay@edkay77 T1b I've been keeping a list of blogs & sites that have content that's popped and I trust to send on behalf of the institution #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:13 edkay77

9:13	AZ Rork@azrork @ohxjulie We've just started doing this type of thing too, and it's going well. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:13 azrork

9:14	AZ Rork@azrork @MeredithGould Find? #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:14 azrork

9:14	Dan Webster@RevWeb T1b I find many on twitter or FB from thoughtful writers, religious orders, bloggers, select news stories. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:14 RevWeb

9:14	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @AmberStamperPhD Twitter would be a good example of where images don't matter much. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:14 Denise205

9:14	AZ Rork@azrork @CalliLeigh22 Moderating = Sprinting #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:14 azrork

9:14	Garrett deGraff@Garrettdeg T1b: whichever statement resonates with me I boil down to a sentence, shorter things are usually more successful #ChSocM Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:14 Garrettdeg

9:15	Julie@ohxjulie T1: We get a lot of response when we ask for prayer for common student life transitions; they connect because they've been there #ChSocM Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:15 ohxjulie

9:15	JoelleColvilleHanson@PastorJoelle @Denise205 if there's no pic it better be short #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:15 PastorJoelle

9:15	Ed Kay@edkay77 @PastorJoelle @Garrettdeg @azrork True. Just feels sometimes like the institution is trying too hard #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:15 edkay77

9:15	Laura Catalano@LeistCatalano I make "shareable" photo prayer cards on Facebook and they often get 30+ shares from 750 followers #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:15 LeistCatalano

9:15	Brock Webster@B_RockW T1b, Photos and religious articles #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:15 B_RockW

9:15	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @Denise205 And I actually tend to click thru to see images on Twitter but maybe because I use Tweetdeck & see preview. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:15 MeredithGould

9:16	AZ Rork@azrork I do agree. And I also wonder if people will eventually get sick of pics. MT @PastorJoelle: if there's no pic it better be short #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:16 azrork

9:16	JoelleColvilleHanson@PastorJoelle @LeistCatalano like to see example of shareable prayer card #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:16 PastorJoelle

9:16	Calli Elliott@CalliLeigh22 T1b: Pictures that make me think. Or lyrics. Lyrics are always thought provoking. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:16 CalliLeigh22

9:16	AZ Rork@azrork So we're thinking about content and our minds are working....on to T2. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:16 azrork

9:17	Garrett deGraff@Garrettdeg @CalliLeigh22 #chsocm preferably Mumford and sons lyrics 😍 Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:17 Garrettdeg

9:17	AZ Rork@azrork Smart! RT @LeistCatalano: I make "shareable" photo prayer cards on Facebook and they often get 30+ shares from 750 followers #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:17 azrork

9:17	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @PastorJoelle That's usually true, though I've seen exceptions. Also depends on platform. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:17 Denise205

9:17	JoelleColvilleHanson@PastorJoelle @azrork I never get tired of visuals, I do get bored with words #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:17 PastorJoelle

9:17	AZ Rork@azrork T2: Is your #chsocm a one-person effort, or are more people involved? Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:17 azrork

9:17	Calli Elliott@CalliLeigh22 “@Garrettdeg: @CalliLeigh22 #chsocm preferably Mumford and sons lyrics 😍” Pretty much.(; Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:17 CalliLeigh22

9:17	Dan Webster@RevWeb RT @MeredithGould I'm hoping people get tired of puerile memes sooner rather than later.//You bet. Me too. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:17 RevWeb

9:18	Laura Catalano@LeistCatalano @PastorJoelle Here is my collection. I have mad e a lot of psalms recently, prayers are there too facebook.com/EpiscopalShare… #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:18 LeistCatalano

9:18	Ed Kay@edkay77 T2 One (me) now to coordinate, but working to multiply by having other colleagues supply me with content to post #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:18 edkay77

9:18	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @MeredithGould Interesting point...I wonder if way of accessing Twitter affects image effectiveness in that medium. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:18 Denise205

9:18	Cheryl K.@LuckyCharm333 Cheryl from Tacoma slipping in late as usual w/a trapezius that's been killing me all day #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:18 LuckyCharm333

9:18	AZ Rork@azrork T2: At @FPCGV our #chsocm is largely a one-woman show, with occasional input from others.. But we're looking at changing all that! Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:18 azrork

9:19	Laura Catalano@LeistCatalano @azrork Thanks! I saw that photos with inspirational quotes were shared a lot, so were funny Episcopal memes. I combined the ideas #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:19 LeistCatalano

9:19	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @Denise205 Probably. Makes sense that platform would have impact. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:19 MeredithGould

9:19	Regina Heater@reckshow @Denise205 @MeredithGould I find that I prefer tools like TweetDeck & FalconPro that allow me to easily see images. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:19 reckshow

9:23	MeredithGould@MeredithGould T3 I think you'd need to create clear guidelines & timetables to keep everyone/thing clear-ish. #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:23 MeredithGould

9:23	Ed Kay@edkay77 @ohxjulie Do you all have a strategy/plan or meet regularly to discuss who is posting what/when? #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:23 edkay77

9:23	Jane Roberts@redjane @LeistCatalano A lot of those are shared on our FB page. They are not my fave, but if other ppl like them, who am I to say #ChSocM Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:23 redjane

9:23	Julie@ohxjulie T2: I like that we have eyes in a bunch of different places to make sure it's not just one perspective being posted all the time #ChSocM Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:23 ohxjulie

9:23	AZ Rork@azrork And, on a personal level, if anyone is using teams -- I'd love to hear about tools you use to coordinate! #chsocm Tuesday July 23, 2013 9:23 azrork

The topics:
T1: What kind of content really gets your audience going? Pictures, prayers, scripture…what speaks to them? 

T1b: So where do you look for inspiration for these types of posts?  

T2: Is your #chsocm a one-person effort, or are more people involved? 

T3: At @FPCGV, we’re looking to assemble a social media team. Anyone ever try something like this? 

T3b: What might an effective #chsocm team look like?

T4: Are there advantages/disadvantages to running social media campaigns with more than one voice? 

Let’s wrap up with some showing off…. T5: Brag! Anyone have any latest triumphs to share? #chsocm
