SXSW Interactive has been an amazing combination of content and community.
Evan Williams (or @ev) called  Twitter an information network, and in this clip goes on to elaborate on what he means.
Take a look:

The Google Apps Marketplace is a neat little place to hang out if you’ve got a few moments to test new apps. I’ve been trying more than my fair share and I love how it’s growing daily.
If you aren’t familiar with what the marketplace is all about, here’s what they say about themselves:

Take a look at this interactive visualization of the internet across the globe. Pretty neat, right?
I particularly liked reviewing some of the “web rich”; I’ll admit that I have something within me that still wants to be that wealthy, that powerful, and that well-known.

Check it out: AlertRank!
It essentially creates a ranking system for you to quickly see where the [...]

Your church definitely has a website, probably a Facebook group or Fan Page, and maybe a Twitter account. But a LinkedIn group?
LinkedIn can be seen and treated as the ugly step-child of social media sites. Unless you seriously need a job or seriously hate your current one I doubt your logging hours on it.

Apparently Northland Church has launched a Facebook application with the hopes of being one of the first Facebook Campus:
