Just like one should read a lot before they begin to write, one should listen a lot before taking a serious plunge into social media. Especially if your entire organization's reputation is at stake.

I work for a Christian non-profit and Im not an online or social media expert. But what I learned when engaging in online technology is to slow down, don't just jump right in. Its good to really think deep of your objectives first. Research through listening online is also important to know where people are, what they say about your church or organization and what they need. With this in place the church can build an effective technology or social media strategy to meet their online goals. @JasonBruce or @BreakPointPFM. Good stuff Matt.

That is part of my reasoning behind establishing the Issachar Network (http://issacharnetwork.org), to communicate what the Global Christian Community is thinking, praying, and doing in real time. With video communication solutions dropping at phenomenal rates, along with the growing ease of machine translation and crossing language barriers, the possibility and the need for mutual communication to respond to social change will only increase.
