If Jesus had a Twitter account, how would he run it? Seriously. Take a moment and think about social media–then decide if the early church would’ve used technology to connect with people across the globe.
I think so.
People feel differently about social media and it’s uses. Some use it for marketing. Others use it for publicity. Many use it for socializing. Recently I started a Twitter account and a facebook page and I’ve had discussions with people I trust on how it should be run.
Like, should I be uber holy and only post scripture? What if people think I’m lame? Who should I follow and how do I interact?
The truth is I’m not uber holy, I am quite lame, and I still have awkward social moments (Yes, I was home-schooled). But since there are no strict rules on social media, I’m making them up as I go along.
For memories sake and posterity, I’m posting my rules here so I can remember them and share them with you:
- I don’t have followers, I have friends. I don’t hate on people who choose not to follow me on Twitter. It’s their choice and I still would like to see what they’re up to. But I realized that I’m not trying to be a SuperStar in life and I shouldn’t care the about the ratio of people I follow versus who is following me. If you have a shirt on and you’re not trying to sell something, I’ll follow you.
- I don’t have fans, I have friends. In The Name of Love has a facebook page and I love it! If I could get rid of my personal page and opt for that one, I would. People post prayer requests, funny stories, ask about future speaking events, or reply to a comment or link I post. But let’s not get it twisted: I don’t have fans.
- If you ask a personal question on the blog or through formsping that is anonymous, I probably will not answer it. There is no power in anonymity.
- Blogging is hard. Like really, really hard. I don’t get paid a dime and I’m not trying to sell Amway or Pre-Paid Legal services. I blog because sometimes I feel as if it’s my only voice to a world I cannot reach. Vienna, Austria–I blog for you. Queenstown, New Zealand–I blog for you. Santiago, Chile–I blog for you. Ozark, Arkansas–I blog for you. I pour out my heart with simple words… because words are all I have.
So, what are your rules? Am I missing any? How do you tweet and what do you say? Why is Jon Gosselin still in the limelight? Why is Suri Cruise the most gorgeous little girl in the whole world?
Power to the people,
:B
