9:17	Steve Kenow @skenow @SandiCarter3 in most cases, yes - take the site down, put up a simple contact page, redesign and relaunch #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:17 skenow

9:17	MeredithGould @MeredithGould @SandiCarter3 Hard to say. I've seen some so bad that I'd probably recommend none being better. #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:17 MeredithGould

9:25	AZ Rork @azrork @LeistCatalano Agreed. But we find that brevity on SM and offering more info on our website on some topics works well. #chsocm @mbprice44 Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:25 azrork

9:50	Carolyn Clement @singingcarolyn Sounds like some of what we need to do in #chsocm happens completely offline. Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:50 singingcarolyn

9:50	Neal F. Fischer @nealffischer @EnsignPierce Sorry, to hear that. I've never had a problem with it on my Nexus7, Galaxy Nexus or Chrome. #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:50 nealffischer

9:50	MeredithGould @MeredithGould @EnsignPierce Wonder why? I've never had that prob on my smartphone, tablet or laptop #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:50 MeredithGould

9:51	Kara N. Slade @KaraNSlade T2A: I know wonderful people thru #chsocm I wouldn't have met otherwise. Some even came to my ordination. :-) It's been a real gift. Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:51 KaraNSlade

9:51	MeredithGould @MeredithGould @bfelice Wait, what? We can like our own posts??? #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:51 MeredithGould

9:51	Steve Kenow @skenow @sethhinz people don't want to connect with a page, they want to connect with a person #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:51 skenow

9:51	MeredithGould @MeredithGould @KaraNSlade I enjoyed your ordination pics via #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:51 MeredithGould

9:52	Greg Smith @sowhatfaith @skwechter I found that to be an issue 4 or 5 years ago, but it faded quickly and is so now for only a very small % of people #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:52 sowhatfaith

9:52	Seth Hinz @sethhinz @skenow that's where tagging updates with - Pastors Name can help out #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:52 sethhinz

9:52	MeredithGould @MeredithGould Note to self: Like your own posts without ceasing. #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:52 MeredithGould

9:52	Neal F. Fischer @nealffischer @bfelice I've read that once conversation starts it is a decent rule of thumb to make sure to reduce your role in it. #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:52 nealffischer

9:52	Carolyn Clement @singingcarolyn T2b We seem to be talking a lot about trying to move folks from "inactive" to...any other type. Any specific suggestions? #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:52 singingcarolyn

9:52	Caroline Carson @Conductor222 @KaraNSlade That is awesome! I got interested in Gen Con thru #chsocm and later was delegate to our Dio convention! Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:52 Conductor222

9:52	Mark Alves @markalves T2a Tweeting a daily reflection for @TodaysReadings & @stcharleschurch keeps me focused on faith. #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:52 markalves

9:53	Beth Felice @bfelice @MeredithGould I've never been a fan of watching people have long conversations with themselves. might be a personal peeve. #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:53 bfelice

9:53	Andy Pierce @EnsignPierce @MeredithGould Maybe it's the number of feeds I'm following? Also, the iOS crashes are on an iPod, Nexus 7 freezes. Don't know why #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:53 EnsignPierce

9:53	Kara N. Slade @KaraNSlade Since I didn't go to an Episcopal seminary #chsocm has really connected me to the broader Church. Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:53 KaraNSlade

9:53	Steve Kenow @skenow @sethhinz why not have them post as themselves? #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:53 skenow

9:54	MeredithGould @MeredithGould @bfelice Understand. I recently muted 2 people who have endless ranty monologues on Twitter. My Twitterstream is calmer now. #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:54 MeredithGould

9:55	MeredithGould @MeredithGould @EnsignPierce Maybe it's because you build your own computers! ;-) #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:55 MeredithGould

9:55	Seth Hinz @sethhinz @skenow this is a larger convo.. visitors initial contact with orgs can go web -> FB and then they learn about the pastor, community #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:55 sethhinz

9:55	MeredithGould @MeredithGould @nealffischer Hilarious. #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:55 MeredithGould

9:55	Carolyn Clement @singingcarolyn T3: What benefits have you seen with greater social media engagement from your congregation and community? #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:55 singingcarolyn

9:55	Neal F. Fischer @nealffischer @MeredithGould It is good to know I still go it! #mindblown #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:55 nealffischer

9:56	Carolyn Clement @singingcarolyn Well, would you look at the time. The fastest hour of the week has once again flown by, and it's time to wrap things up. #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:56 singingcarolyn

9:57	Dan Webster @RevWeb T3 SM seems to better connect bishop/diocese to parishioners. We can do much better but it's a start. #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:57 RevWeb

9:57	S.Kleinwechter @skwechter T3 ppl from around the diocese find they have connections #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:57 skwechter

9:57	Carolyn Clement @singingcarolyn Sorry about that late T3. (sheepishly) Feel free to cogitate and comment later... #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:57 singingcarolyn

9:57	Seth Hinz @sethhinz t3 people saying "found you on Facebook" to some of our congregations... means more people are coming through the door. #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:57 sethhinz

9:57	Steve Kenow @skenow @singingcarolyn T3 SM connects people the other 6 days of the week #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:57 skenow

9:58	Carolyn Clement @singingcarolyn Last chance: final tweets of wisdom? #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:58 singingcarolyn

9:58	Andy Pierce @EnsignPierce T3 Major benefits continue to be from blog work more than SM, but SM reinforces blog, drives web traffic. #chsocm Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:58 EnsignPierce

9:58	Caroline Carson @Conductor222 #chsocm T3 4Sq helped our search result ranking, pics of ch activities now all over, general awareness of events is higher, the cool factor Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:58 Conductor222

9:58	Mark Alves @markalves T3 Improved event attendance as #chsocm provides a timely reminder or awareness. Tuesday August 27, 2013 9:58 markalves
