Sunday Special QA No. 4

Posted by John Saddington on Apr 19, 2009

ssqa2Sunday’s a good day to take it easy.

I’ve decided that on Sundays I’m not going to do any blogging except for a very simple post series called “The Sunday Special” where you get to ask me anything you’d like.

You can ask about me about web technology, Wordpress, blogging, what I ate for breakfast… whatever.

I can’t promise that I’ll answer all of your questions, but feel free to answer each other’s questions as well.

I’ll try to answer all the questions throughout the coming week.

Simple enough, right? Go.

    John,

    Just wanted to say Thank You for all your products! Your content is very thought provoking. As a church planter in this season of the world economy, it's relieving that your words have come to the Kingdom for such a time as this. Keep the focus on Christ and the context of technology integration with ministry- it's powerful!

      Dewitt,

      Thanks so much for your kind words! I love my God and I love what I do. It's a blessing for me, seriously!

    Do you have a specific Twitter / social media strategy that you can articulate formally? In helping pastors, churches/ministries get off the ground with Twitter, I am trying to flesh out a formalized framework for Twitter (which should fit into the larger "social media" framework as well). Twitter for Churches e-book is cursory, but the practical real-questions that come up are deeper than that and also have competition in terms of time, other priorities, etc.

    I think some questions to initially be answered are things like:
    > What is the upside and downside of Twittering vs. not Twittering
    > Is Twitter for all churches? Or only tech-saavy demographics?
    > How personal?
    > Any guidelines (both do's and dont's)?
    > What could this replace?
    > What would it never replace?
    > How do you see it complementing current work/ministry?
    > Why not do it on Facebook?

    If I designed my own site, would you build it in Wordpress and how much would you charge me?? You might want to email me at jakeschwein@gmail.com with your answer. Let me know?? I don't know if you freelance.

      cost depends. we can discuss more if you'd like.

      a lot of the blogs that i subscribe to have nothing to do at all with technology, etc. because the are just plain good writing.

      let me suggest a few in a bit.

    Here's a question for you: So I'm relatively new to the twitter world. I signed up a few months ago but didn't really do anything with the account. But this past week I began following a few more people and made some comments and tweets….and then all of a sudden, a bunch of people have begun following me. It seems like it's been about 5-10 people per day for the past few days. People that I don't know, that I've never heard of. So why would they want to follow me? To me it just seems odd, like it's some kind of bot mass signing people up for them or something. Not sure what to think but it kinda freaks me out to be honest.

    Are Trackbacks useful and do you use them?

      Trackbacks are useful. They help others to see who's blogged about your content and also can provide extra traffic. Show 'em!

    Do you submit all your post to the social media broadcasters like StumbleUpon etc Automatically?
    (what is the correct name for them?)
