Praying for Twitter

April 15th, 2007

Via Smart Mobs, we learn about how churches are using Twitter:

“We used the service a few weeks ago in conjunction with a three day fast that we did as a church. Over the three days…Chris Spadlin who taught a message about fasting the previous weekend sent out “updates” about the fast via the twitter service throughout the day. People could subscribe using SMS (text messaging) on their cell phones, via instant messaging or by visiting the LifeChurch.tv website where we could pull in an RSS feed of the updates. It is currently completely free…except for the charges that a person might normally have for receiving SMS messages.”

So very cool. The Rabbi at my shul (reconstructionist) is very progressive (he sang Bob Dylan songs during Rosh Hashana services last year). I wonder if he would consider using Twitter…

And of course, Twitter can be valuable to libraries. Either way, Twitter is so fun and addicting and, in time, will replace aggregators.
