BeDeviant.com | Culture, Faith & Technology: How Much is Too Much?

    I fully agree with you. Even though I am new to Twitter, it seems just like tele-evangelist. They have that same mentality of "Look at me". Why is it the larger you get in the Christian community, the more that seems apparent? Why can't it be the exact opposite, the more well-known you get, the more transparent, open, and real you become. I think that is what draws me to your blog daily, is that sense of transparency.

    Absolutely. It's what I like about twitter as opposed to facebook or myspace, there's only so much room for something, so you'd better make it good, but then you don't have to tell everything about yourself either. The "less is more" approach is something I try to strive for in a lot of things.

    Amen! That's why I gave up Twitter after 2 months with it. Too much noise. I'm thinking about starting again and just following close friends. Twitter's getting a lot of hype by big-name folks because (I think) they think it's a great way to share 'important' information with a big audience, but I think they overestimate how much tolerance/interest people have for self-promotion.

    btw,when you're done reading this,come over to my blog and hang out.i'm a no-name, no-nonesense pastor/geek. JK!LOL
    i know what you mean, oftentimes the ones with the loudest words are the ones with the smallest brains. i'm not going to kid you, i seriously will not blog unless i get inspired. right now i'm sitting on 2-3 weeks of stuff to blog about. But I'm taking my time. It's got to be natural.
    I also don't always want to know about your online church services. It gets to be like spam.
