"They call it “ambient awareness.” It is, they say, very much like being physically near
someone and picking up on his mood through the little things he does — body language,
sighs, stray comments — out of the corner of your eye. This is the paradox of ambient
awareness. Each little update — each individual bit of social information — is insignificant on
its own, even supremely mundane. But taken together, over time, the little snippets coalesce
into a surprisingly sophisticated portrait of your friends’ and family members’ lives, like
thousands of dots making a pointillist painting. This was never before possible, because in the
real world, no friend would bother to call you up and detail the sandwiches she was eating."

Notes de l'éditeur
Pastor, Web Designer, Social Media Addict
Really got into it personally, then for church/ministry, then for Wente Vineyards
I see that there are so many ways in which social media can offer us new ways of connecting, new ways of meeting the needs of people today.
Story about Dayna & Bear
Before you click it a second time, leave it blank and let the folks in the room tell what their objections are, or the objections of people in their church. Guaranteed that they’ll say some of the things on the list before you reveal it. There’s usually some good laughs at the reveal.
We’ve found it really important for the people there to get a chance to say what they want to learn. You won’t change the agenda as a result, but it will help you gauge the room. Plus, you can get back to particular questions as they come up throughout the day. You can also say, “Well, we probably won’t cover that,” when someone asks a question about MySpace.
Here’s a slide - read it - how many of you get all of the jokes there?
Well, by the end of the day, hopefully you will know more!
Here’s a slide - read it - how many of you get all of the jokes there?
Well, by the end of the day, hopefully you will know more!
The point in these slides is to show that everyone should have their own SM philosophy. It’s not one-size-fits-all. The four elements we go through below leads to someone’s SM philosophy.
WHY are you online and what do you want to do with it?
Why do an outreach campaign if you never wrote a mission statement for your church?
And it is usually the most startling and helpful for people. They haven’t thought through how important it is to parse out the differences between these three.
What is your mix of these three?
Work #: Professional phone number.
Now we have cell phones - and it goes where we go.
Social media is like your mobile phone: you aren’t supposed to have an anonymous email address to administer a Facebook page. It’s connected to YOUR Facebook Profile.
I’m AdamWC on Facebook. And I’m a pastor on Facebook. And I run other business’s Facebook Pages.
What is the PAIN POINT - the pain point is that I’m here representing my organization, my church paid for me, I’m learning this stuff because I’m in charge of it, but when I log into Facebook...I have all these messages from people I went to college with, I want to post family photos, but I don’t want everyone to see that in my church.
Don’t set up a CHURCH profile.
You use Social Media Personally...connected to college buddies, seminary classmates, family, aunts/uncles, use it personally.
You use it professional because you try to build a brand...working on a professional brand. They’re not always going to be an associate at first pres in ashland oregon. I’ll take my social media platform with me that I’ve built...and I’ll use that to get my own professional stuff.
You’re also representing an organization....which hat do you have when you log in when you log into social media?
On behalf of your org., yourself professional, yourself personally?
One of these might be the biggest for you - church secretary might be more focused on institutional brand..
The personal part is if you’re tweeting events
You don’t get to be just ONE of those....you can’t be just organizational/institutional, because you log in PERSONALLY on FB. You use the same login to put up family photos.
Messier.
The next thing is to teach that each SM platform has strengths and weaknesses, and you don’t have to master every one. You should play around with them, experiment, and see what suits you. Tony likes Twitter, Doug likes Facebook, Tony likes blogging, Doug likes video. Etc. There’s also a correlation between the platform and what is demanded of the content provider and the reader -- Twitter demands the least and provides the least, blogging demands the most and provides the most.
Twitter is like a rushing river in your backyard - take a scoop of water out of the river
Has anyone even heard of Bebo? Well, it’s HUGE in Brazil! (Pause for laughter.) The point is, you’ll never master them all. Try all the big ones, settle on a couple.
Push: add content to the world
Listen: what are people talking about?, Bruce Reyes-Chow: Presbyterians Who Tweet, lists, Use social media to focus in on that
Connect/Marketing: find people and groups that interest you
Learn: study the things you want to learn about, sermon resources, etc
It’s no different from checking your voicemail or reading your email. It can be made a natural part of your work week. Posting your sermon every Monday is a fine use of a blog, for instance.
Truth of the matter is, perhaps SOMETHING may need to go from your workflow to make room for all of this.
It can be an integrative part of your work life.
example: Had a great Session Meeting tonight - ended with a great time of prayer.
example: snap a quick shot of folks at an important meeting the day before
The 5 Points of Whuffie
1. Turn the Bullhorn around: Stop Talking and Start Listening
Start listening is through social media - it's all about engaging in conversations people are having - WHERE they are having them.
2. Become Part of the Community You Serve
1. The ways in which people are using social media as a mobilization tool to further causes, mission work, etc.
2. Not to be afraid of the technology and social media. Social media are tools, just like phone calls, writing notes, going to visit a parishioner.
3. Feigning ignorance or "I just can't figure this stuff out" or "it takes too much time" - these are not excuses that work anymore.
3. Create Amazing Customer Experiences
1. Lenten Blog
2. Social Media Mission Trips
4. Embrace the Chaos
1. Loss of control - it's okay, you never really had it to begin with
2. It’s all new - people may make little mistakes (or even big ones....) - run with it, embrace the newness and the uniqueness of it
5. Find your Higher Purpose
1. Are you clear? Sure, you're a church but do you know what your higher purpose is?
2. To help people find new ways to connect w/each other and connect w/God?
Put up this slide and ask for questions. Then, leave it up for the 10-minute bathroom break. Play some music during the break.
The single biggest thing we want to teach about FB is the difference between these four (primarily the first three). In the presentation, always be clear whether you’re referring to a profile or a page, and make sure the participants are clear when they speak about this, too.
Not as official page for ministry, but your Student Leadership Team, your Deacon’s Committee.
Don’t use Internet Explorer, susceptible to viruses, really slow, crashes, pop-up windows, sites don’t design all that well. Describe News Feed (you can edit it),
After this slide, go to FB in a browser on the big screen. Show some examples -- your own and others. Look up a few of the churches in attendance. Help someone set up a page live. Help someone get to 25 followers so that they can claim a username, then help them choose one.
Selective Tweets App
1. Link to other churches - put comments on their walls, LIKE their pages, engage in conversations with other like-minded groups. Network from organization to organization.
2. Post a photo of the staff meeting, copy machine making a church bulletin to get ready for Sunday. Do a post when you’re gone at the staff retreat - let people know what’s going on. Bands do this - post from backstage, or traveling, it builds affinity between people who follow bands.
3. Tell people what else you do. Let them know you’re a person behind the page and ministry.
4. Ask for input - what do they want to hear about? What do they want to see you post?
5. Be visual - if they’re scanning their News Feed - an image will be much more attractive to them. They’ll notice that.
6. Maybe not “everything” - an Event is a way to garner attraction. Every special event at your church, potluck supper, fall retreats, special speaker. Then you can invite everyone who Likes your page. Their responses will show up on their News Feed, gets the word out.
7. Guy decided to just ask questions all Advent long - questions after questions after questions. What’s the incentive?
8. Basic contact info.
9. Put stuff on FB that’s not on your website. Not gatorade.com - can’t get all that much info from you. But facebook.com/gatorade and click LIKE, it knows everything.
10. Apps.
These bullets are to highlight the different ways you can use Twitter.
Search: talk about Twitter search and @1stPresAshland
Every church should be on Twitter...even if no one uses Twitter
You don’t need to explain every one of these, but you’ve got to explain -- and show -- @ and DM and #.
