21. Social Content is Social Capital
•
Social Capital is the
value of connections
between and among
nodes in social
networks.
•
Content should be
newsworthy, unique,
controversial, timely
immediately useful
and/or funny.
•
12:1 ratio of adding
value.

YOUSELF, AND DISCUSS THE VOICE OF YOUR
CONGREGATION.
