  • Myspace is my ex-girlfriend

    This cracked me up. I was never into Myspace the way I am into Facebook. But it goes to show you that one day Facebook will be the ex-girlfriend we lament about.

  • 5 Reasons I Love Social Networking

    The last 12 months has seen a major shift in how people view social networking. A year ago most adults (who weren’t in youth ministry) said the word “Myspace” with a suspicious scowl. If they used it they kept it on the downlow. Now everyone has Facebook. (150 million users and growing every second; it…

  • Oops. A little over technology

    It seems my eagerness to spread the word about the YS podcast may have actually hurt our distribution a little. I think the right word is “counterproductive.” With the new format for the podcast I thought it would be helpful to cross-publish it a few places. So you may have seen it pop up on…

  • I could do that, it’s easy

    This week I’ve had a couple of people approach me about YMX. One said, “I thought about doing that but you just got to it first.” The other person said, “I thought about doing that but I just didn’t have the time.” Really, both are saying the same thing. I’ve heard it hundreds of times…

  • Zloop: Is this the next social network?

    Last night I had the chance to talk to Brent Myers, an evangelist for Zloop. Zloop is a new social network that is built around two general concepts: Security. Your “loops” are private to whom you invite. Mimics real life. You can control which loops see which side of you. If you are looking for…
