SocialGO
Here is another do it yourself type of social networking site. This is similar to Ning, but much prettier. I would also say the features address the cost one would have to pay. Check it out and let me know how your ministry could be impacted.

Geocaching for Jesus
The other day I went Geo-caching with my iPhone. My girls and I were looking through one Geo-cache and noticed a lot of cool goodies, we started to trade different items that were in the Geo-cache. It dawned on me while I was there, that it would be a great idea to put little biblical quotes of encouragement or small children’s bibles in the different Geo-caches that we visit. Just another way through the use of technology to spread God’s word. If you have ideas on this type of ministry give your comments.

Yonkly
Since we are talking about micro-blogging, I should also mention Yonkly. This is a similar service to ShoutEm, except it’s focus is more on monetization and customization. You also have the ability to add your own domain name to your micro-blog. They have free and paid based micro-blogs that you can use for your ministry.

ShoutEm
“Ning for Twitters” is how a fairly new micro-blogging service called ShoutEm describes itself. One can send text messages, share links, photos, and include geo-location based content. There is also wide range of mobile device support. I would recommend micro blogging services to anyone that wants a simple way to network and communicate without all the complexity of other social networking sites.

SDALink
A new online service recently launched for the Adventist church. SDALink is video sharing, social networking like site that allows Adventists to submit and stream videos onto the BiggyTV owned network. This is a first for the Adventist church, so time will time how well adoption will be. On a side note the service has bulletin video-conferencing software for a small fee.

Gospelr
Gospelr is a ministry-microblogging service (like Twitter) for the Christian Community. They have Twitter and mobile phone integration. Use it for prayer requests, announcements, scripture sharing or just sharing those random thoughts. I would say this service is more designed and a target for Christian to Christian sharing.

Where Theology and Technology Meet
Today, I did a seminar at the NAD Ministries Convention in a cold and snowy Myrtle Beach, SC.
For those that wanted a copy of my presentation or those that didn’t get a chance to come. I have posted a PDF of the slides along with the video clip that I showed. I will add my notes at a later date when I have had time to organize. I enjoyed meeting and talking with those that were there and hope that some of this content can be used in each of your fields.
