I am always looking for New and interesting ways to communicate with people. Ways that I can share life with people and they can share it with me. I Twitter, email, blog, facebook, (used to myspace), IM, text message and am looking for even more ways to improve the duologue.
Pastors used to have to go to the local farm or factory or house and relatively recently they were able to make phone calls. I love to sit down with people and share life. It is a lot of fun and really good for a one on one discipleship and life sharing. The only problem with this is that it is limited to the time that a pastor or the person he/she is meeting with's time and space. You and I both know that we are busier and more scattered than we have ever been and so technology that increases communication that breaches time and space is priceless!!! Now with facebook and Twitter I can sit down with many people at the same time and share whatever i want to share and hear whatever they want to share. I LOVE IT! Google wave looks really interesting to take ur communication to the next level. It may not take off... But it is indicative of what is to come! I am excited because potentially I could sit down with many of you at the same time. (Some day I want to try a virtual connection group. Maybe over a lunch time...)
What is wave? What if E-mail was totally re-invented for today? That is what the Google team asked themselves as they invented this new product called, Google Wave. Sometimes its hard to remember that email is a 40 year old invention and how many limitations it imposes on us because it is not utilizing the horsepower behind the technologies available to today. Check out the video if you are interested.
How do you think this can increase our communication with one another? How could this help you connect with other people in church?
