I'm the founder of ChurchMedia.net, which was a very active forum for churches using media and at one time was in the top 10,000 sites in the world. I know how to make a "community" work, but social networking (a term that wasn't even around when I started the site in 1997) has changed so much in the last 10 years. This discussion is very helpful to me because I'm trying to grasp what social networking is TODAY, as opposed to the run-of-the-mill forums of early online interaction. I sold my site last year and am now putting together a new version of it. I want it to go way beyond what I originally created and be relevant to current trends. This round-table has given me a lot of insight. As an old dog in the social networking world, I hope I can learn some new tricks. Thank you! This has been a great, well balanced series.

Don’t limit the small churches. There are some out there trying to make their way in the social media world.

I do think churches have come a long way (at least the big ones) in their "marketing" sensibilities in recent years. They still seem to be behind the curve in terms of understanding how to apply social networking to anything beyond simply promoting events through Facebook. Hopefully with what the advocates for social media for churches here in the discussion and with what I'm doing with my social media marketing workshops for churches, things will turn around.
