On a typical online social network, he said, the top 10% of users accounted for 30% of all production.

“This implies that Twitter’s resembles more of a one-way, one-to-many publishing service more than a two-way, peer-to-peer communication network,” the team wrote in a blog post.

I guess that is consistent with my experience.  I find some interesting people out and about on Twitter, but don’t feel like I have any virtual friends through it.

1.  Using words like crap, hell, etc are probably not the hindrance to outreach that he thinks they are.  That being said, I don’t think they help and can alienate conservative believers and as such are not really a good idea.

2.  Isn’t using your Flip Camera while driving chasing cool?

3.  Isn’t it a little bit ironic that they guy who promoted the 7 day Sex Challenge and went on the Daily Show to talk about it is bugged that other chase cool?

Here we go again.  Dateline Arlington…

Drake…said June 2 on “The Alan Colmes Show” that unless Obama repents, he is praying that God will kill the president. Drake said he believes that is what happened to slain abortion provider George Tiller, who was shot to death while attending church in Wichita, Kan., on Sunday, May 31.

Describing the interview on “The Wiley Drake Show” on Crusade Radio June 3, Drake said Colmes invited him on the program because someone had asked him about his initial response to news that Tiller had died.

“I’ve been a Baptist pastor for a long time, been in the pro-life fight, been face-to-face with Tiller, told him about Jesus, and I’ve seen many, many others tell him about Jesus over and over and over again,” Drake said. “And I’ve seen horrific things that go on in those death abortuaries — and that’s what they are — and so my initial response to those people, they said, ‘Well what was your response,’ and I said, ‘Well, in all honesty I have to just respond directly and say I am glad that he’s dead.’”

In the Fox interview, Drake, pastor of First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park, Calif., called Obama “a usurper” and claimed he is “not an American-born citizen.” Challenged for referring to the president as “B. Hussein Obama,” Drake denied calling him that because it makes him sound like a Muslim. “I call him that because it’s his name,” Drake insisted.

Accused of holding views on the fringe of American culture, Drake acknowledged: “It is a fringe point of view, and I take that as a badge of honor. I am on the fringe.”

Drake said Southern Baptists have lost belief in “imprecatory prayer” — praying passages from the Psalms where the Psalmist is asking God to bring death and misfortune on his enemies — and need to regain the practice. (Source)

Here is my two cents.  Once again this strikes me as an unhelpful thing to say and for that matter, believe.  Thoughtful Christians can find much out of line with Scriptures in both the Democratic and Republican platforms.  If we were to stand outside of political ideologies, we might just find a prophetic voice.

I gotta be honest…I am still not convinced about Twitter, but this article gave me a little bit more of a glimpse as to what it may mean.  Here is one part of it…

Put those three elements together — social networks, live searching and link-sharing — and you have a cocktail that poses what may amount to the most interesting alternative to Google’s near monopoly in searching. At its heart, Google’s system is built around the slow, anonymous accumulation of authority: pages rise to the top of Google’s search results according to, in part, how many links point to them, which tends to favor older pages that have had time to build an audience. That’s a fantastic solution for finding high-quality needles in the immense, spam-plagued haystack that is the contemporary Web. But it’s not a particularly useful solution for finding out what people are saying right now, the in-the-moment conversation that industry pioneer John Battelle calls the “super fresh” Web. Even in its toddlerhood, Twitter is a more efficient supplier of the super-fresh Web than Google. If you’re looking for interesting articles or sites devoted to Kobe Bryant, you search Google. If you’re looking for interesting comments from your extended social network about the three-pointer Kobe just made 30 seconds ago, you go to Twitter.   (Source)
