This is interesting in light of some of the issues we discussed at our panel at SXSW Interactive this past spring. You can listen to the podcast here. I wonder if there’s a way to measure if more people are actually “attending” church online than offline. They certainly seem to be indulging their curiosity at this new site.
Of course, my fear is always that online “community’ is often just an invitation to flame others with views different than your own. The internet makes it much easier to express views you wouldn’t feel comfortable expressing to a stranger IRL, but it also makes it easier to trash someone else’s views without getting to know them first.
Must keep an eye on this GodTube thing…
I must say, I like the new theme here at consolatonchamps.
Thanks, Jay. I still have to fix a few things (RSS feeds for one), but I’m hoping to upgrade to WordPress 2.3 when I get back from vacation.
