Ignite: How to Spark Immediate Growth in Church looks an interesting read. Wouldn’t have seen this as I don’t tweet. Thanks to Abeo (and Lady Claire for standing by those who lack knowledge on social networking sites)

I rather disagree with the idea of keeping separate mediums completely separate.

I actually like getting references to blog posts from twitter. I can keep my phone watching twitter all day and then pop on the blog for posts that looked interesting. I might come to the blog less often than I would if they weren’t on twitter, but it saves me time and is much appreciated.

I love the third tweet from the bottom Saw what *else* Amazon’s Christian community had been buying alongside their communion wafers, and nearly died laughing!

Bob – I get to a degree where you’re coming from, but there are probably some people who don’t understand Twitter & therefore don’t use it but would still like to know what Derren has to say.
I know that if Derren was saying stuff on MySpace (which I personally hardly ever use) I’d be immensely grateful to Phillis & Abeo for blogging it & thus giving other non MySpace users the chance to view what he says.
I like the blog posts being ‘individualised’ via the medium of tweeting. I can usually foresee straight away if it’s something I want to view now or leave til later. And I really don’t know why this would be classed as spamming when all content is different & people send links on Twitter all the time.

I think Phillis & Abeo etc, do a great job in all that they do for Derren.

I can see why you might be tempted to tweet what you blog, and blog what you tweet. But these are different media and your fans select them based on what they expect to get out of them. I personally find it a drag to see tweets from Derren that are just links to the blog entries I’ll get to after work. Spamming all social media with all possible content rather than tuning your message to the medium’s strength is a sign that you haven’t really figured out social media.

(I still love you Derren and hope you come to San Francisco soon!)

Ha ha look at all the RT’s from Derren this week!! (Sadly none of mine). Derren went ‘random retweet crazy’ last week. But it was great fun (esp if you stayed up as late as he did while they were coming through!)

Also, am absolutely delighted to know Derren is painting again, the rough sketch of the Michelangelo painting looks great!
