Comments on: Facebook’s Stumble; spiritual sabotage or unique opportunity? http://www.eministrynotes.com/2006/09/14/facebooks-stumble-spiritual-sabotage-or-unique-opportunity/ A place to record notes on effective web ministry Sat, 11 Oct 2008 22:40:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Scott Santee http://www.eministrynotes.com/2006/09/14/facebooks-stumble-spiritual-sabotage-or-unique-opportunity/#comment-22012 Scott Santee Fri, 15 Sep 2006 18:03:40 +0000 http://www.eministrynotes.com/2006/09/14/facebooks-stumble-spiritual-sabotage-or-unique-opportunity/#comment-22012 There's been another response to the mini-feed mishap. Mark has given a humble apology and asked for forgiveness. There have even been a couple of "We forgive you, Mark" kind of groups formed. He sounds like a Christian. He also just created a group where he'll donate $10,000 to Habitat for Humanity. Not sure of *where* you were thinking of "Facebook publishes all your secrets, God doesn't". Maybe a different type of ad that supports (rather than potentially alienates) Facebook might have better long-term mileage for us. I also wasn't aware of people leaving in droves. Most of the people we're connected with would say, "where else would we go?" Maybe something like: "Facebook connects us socially. God connects you spiritually." or "Imagine if Facebook could let you connect to each other at a heart-level like God can? (then again, maybe that's not such a good idea.)" or "Facebook allows you to make fast friends; God allows you to be real friends." or "Instead of 'Facebook', what if there were 'Heartbook' ? or "Let Facebooks start your friendships. Let God deepen them." Okay, you get the idea...let's set ourselves up for a longterm leveraging of Facebook. Scott... There’s been another response to the mini-feed mishap.

Not sure of *where* you were thinking of “Facebook publishes all your secrets, God doesn’t”. Maybe a different type of ad that supports (rather than potentially alienates) Facebook might have better long-term mileage for us.

I also wasn’t aware of people leaving in droves. Most of the people we’re connected with would say, “where else would we go?”

Maybe something like: “Facebook connects us socially. God connects you spiritually.” or “Imagine if Facebook could let you connect to each other at a heart-level like God can? (then again, maybe that’s not such a good idea.)” or “Facebook allows you to make fast friends; God allows you to be real friends.” or “Instead of ‘Facebook’, what if there were ‘Heartbook’ ? or “Let Facebooks start your friendships. Let God deepen them.”

Okay, you get the idea…let’s set ourselves up for a longterm leveraging of Facebook.
