		<description><![CDATA[I haven't talked about this much yet, but Google has been creating a set of tools that can literally change the way churches do business.  Yes, yes, I know that they have a great search engine (and are upping the ante with a new search engine process called Caffeine), but the exciting stuff is all out of Google Labs, their experimental wing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just watched a video webinar from Drew Goodmanson and Cynthia Ware that was linked from Drew's site.  It presents the data from a survey that they helped conduct.  I must say that it is making me re-examine some long held preconceptions of church social networking in my mind.  I am coming to realize that much of what I had thought two years ago is not working out socially the way I expected.  It is one of those slap-in-the-forhead moments. ]]></description>

I usually am very skeptical about people who try to sneak link-spam into my blogs, and I tend to be pretty heavy handed with the comment approval.  I checked out the site just for kicks-and-giggles, and was quite impressed with what I saw.  Their site is a veritable menagerie of tools and helps for churches planning to use their Internet ministry effectively.  At the core of their plan is to make April 26th a day dedicated to Internet evangelism worldwide.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We could discuss paradigms of effective communication in the Internet Age all day long and it won't give any church an increased ability to do ministry online more effectively.  It might be best to look at some examples and then maybe pull back and see why what works, works.  I think that this is might be more effective because of what I call the People/Code Dilemma. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-158" title="communicate" src="http://ryanshinn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/communicate.jpg" alt="communicate" /> It seems that the Information Age has been one of the most aptly named epochs in history.  The popular meme may be true, that the average American accesses more information every day than was accessed by our grandparents in their entire lifetimes.  But even if it isn't, no one can deny that everywhere we turn some advertisement, announcement, print ad, or electronic message is vying for our attention.  The advent of the Internet has done nothing but make matters worse.  Now, instead of a couple dozen pieces of junk mail in my mailbox, I have an email box full of "cheap replica watches," "free iPods" and unmentionable others.  Unfortunately, the church is doing a worse job at communicating that most of these spammers in my inbox.  Here are 10 ideas for your church to improve communication.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most churches "have a website."  That is great!  Who doesn't?  Most churches look at their "website" the way everyone did about 15-20 years ago, Web 1.0.  They have a site that includes some information about the church.  This is so that people who find the site will know what time the service is, how to get there, and maybe some info about how to dress and etc.  This paradigm looks at the site as a thing, sort of like a yellow-pages ad (really bad idea!) or a billboard on the freeway (in most cases an even worse idea).  It is a thing that displays information.]]></description>
