Twittering Easter

If you have not heard, and given the fact only about 80,000 users at last count use the service you may not have, Twitter and it’s users answer the simple question of “What are you doing?” through an endless stream of instant messages (often from phones).  Some people refer to it as micro-blogging.  I don’t really have an opinion on the revolutionary aspects of “twittering” yet — perhaps someone reading this entry can comment on the greatness of random messages.

I further confess that I am not a member of the Twitter community and only drop by the site to check in on the latest messages rarely.  But in this Easter season it would be nice to see the Twitter page dominated by messages such as “I’m in church worshiping Christ”.  Now that would be a challenge — a spark of hope in a sea of messages.   Hopefully this blog will discuss more practical concerns related to technology, church life and the challenge of communicating hope in an always on world but maybe I will join after all and “twitter” a little hope this weekend!
