I think the comparisons and lessons are applicable. My next question would be... Do you think there is there a way MySpace can reinvent itself? And similarly can a church that has fallen in similar ways to MySpace reinvent itself? I don't know about the former, but I know the latter though very difficult can be done. Good stuff, John.

It's great a post. What's interesting is that you tie it largely to the church technical ministry but it can actually be applied to the church itself in almost all ministries. Nice work. Also, with regard to MySpace, I find it interesting that so many band still use it as their 'core' website. I would think they would fare much better with a Facebook fan page as people would see updates in their stream and it's such a cleaner interface.
