And…some people should learn how to use "direct messaging" rather than the "reply" feature. But if you want the whole world to "listen in" as you discuss things, that's an option.

Some of my favorite tweets are from local media, with new bulletins, weather updates, etc.

That's probably what people said when the Church started using the printing press.

Twitter's not a business model.

It's as much a means of interpersonal communications as the phone call or the email; it just works differently. The level of transparency in communications provided by a service like Twitter is disarming at first, to be sure, but I will be the first to say that any person or organization not willing to be transparent is one I automatically do not trust.

Well, I just discovered another wonderful use of twitter – spreading Amber Alerts. How often do you hear about them? How often do you think you would hear about them if you could have them filtered in a special folder in your twitter client?

#TLOT is actually Top Libertarians On Twitter. You were thinking of #TLuOT for Top Lutherans on Twitter

Actually that just gives me another reason to "harumph." Twitter is one more aspect of the business model being used by the church, to the church's sorrow.
