[...] I don’t know if you have heard of Twitter or not, but it is a pretty cool service. The basic idea is that it is a way to let others know what you are doing. There are tons of ways to use this for more than that. Check out this post from LifeChurch and see if it is something that you can put to us in your ministry. I’m considering implementing it in at least some way in our student ministry. Check it out! Author: Danny [...]

I’ve tried setting up my immediate family with tweeter accounts to figure it all out. We have found a major problem - U.S. Cellular is the most reliable cell provider in our area but since they are not a “national carrier” they don’g support 5-digit universal codes and messages don’t move quickly from the web to users phones.

I found an alternative that allows both test AND/OR voice broadcasting (even has a neat text to voice utility). Check out jyngle.com which has been on the news following Virginia Tech tragedy.

BTW, I tried using the test to voice feature to send my wife a love note - it didn’t come across as real genuine!! :)

[...] When I first heard about twitter, it reminded me of the Dullest Blog in The World, but my spark was following Cole’s line of interest and experimentation. So I quickly talked over some of the growing list of twitter viewing/publishing tools and interesting things people are doing with twitter. Wow, the library in nearby Casa Grande Arizona has rigged a library RSS feed that auto twits. Twittervision is hypnotic and becomes yet anther net-addiction. John Edwards has 2228 friends. Andy Carvins ponders if twitter can save lives? Churches are tweeting while others look at ways to use it to monitor server status. [...]

I love the idea but I’m having some trouble in learning how it all works. I don’t suppose anyone would mind emailing me to provide some technical assistance, would they? wclaytonbell@gmail.com…

We’re currently testing Twitter for multi-campus coordination — since we broadcast our services live. The idea is: the main campus floor manager would “tweet” what’s going on during the service so other floor managers at the satellite campuses can get updates and synchronize their services. Tomorrow is actually our first test-run after setting it all up. We’ll see how it goes.

(By the way, we’re thinking of utilizing this as an AUXILIARY communication method, not primary. We use Clearcom for that.)

[...] I first learned about Jott in a comment over at the Swerve blog in a post about Twitter. You may have seen that post yesterday. I was intrigued by the idea that by calling a free phone number and leaving a 30 second message (or less), that message would be transcribed and then sent to myself or a contact as an email or text message.

Being a one-person company, I can’t always answer my cell phone but clients still want to know “where the heck is he…

Bobby,

You might want to check out Jott.com too. It’s a free service that will transcribe a voicmail you leave at jott and then email it to the contact of your choice including yourself. I use it like a mobile notepad, it’s great while driving.

P.S. I must admit I got this from Seth’s Blog.

Great ideas on using twitter in the worship experience. There is a site called localtheory.com that has caught my attention. It has a product called mobkastr which is used by
the blue man group, among others. The platform is optimized for SMS text messaging to assure a broad audience, but can also support audio, image and video delivery. Might be worth
checking out. Have a great weekend

Bill Seaver first told me about Twitter, but I hadn’t seen it in this light. I’ll definitely be looking at it differently now.

Good news!…you can subscribe via email to swerve…just scroll down and look at the right side of the is page.

I do agree that agree that the percentage of SMS users in the US is still not all that high. But I also remember when that was true for email.

Twitter is a pretty powerful platform, although only a certain demographic is familiar with text messaging and use it regularly. Email is still very powerful in getting the word out (I always look forward to getting the Internet Campus email every Thursday). I think it would be very cool to subscribe to this blog for instance via email (instead of RSS). I’m not sure if there is a Wordpress plugin that can emailing of new posts (or if your hosting environment would support such a feature)

I never really thought about using Twitter seriously, but then again, I never thought of it in the way you just presented it.
I will defiantly give it a try now.
