Give Us New Tweets

November 28th, 2006. The day that changed my life. I walked into a room and was handed a baby that knew nothing of me. I would…

I have been writing on this blog since the summer of '05. Most of it is useless in the development of your cognitive skills. There are…

Here's the deal. I hate shirts that suck. I hate lots of things that suck. But behind this banner you will find nothing that sucks. Ragamuffin…

We all follow lots of the same people.

Who are some non inner-circle tweets we are missing out on that we should all follow?

I am far to busy to keep up with all the cool little technical advances out there so I’m digging @Lifehacker. I can just click on the ones that interest me instead of filling up my rss reader with bizarre hacks that I will never use.

But of course who wouldn’t want to follow me? I’m just so cool like that! So feel free to jump on the awesome train @rebok21

cynthia

29. Sep, 2008

well me, of course, cynthiaware, but more importantly, you gotta identify what you’re interested in, then identify leadership w/in that sphere in order to bullseye those to follow.

Christian leaders who tweet are a sphere. But it’s a whole different sphere of those who know about design & marketing and tweet. Some musicians tweet and that’s a different sphere. As do a bunch of tweeting moms, worship folks, etc. Tech folks tweet, like arrington & scoble so you gotta know what you want!

I follow some social media scholarly types i.e. - @jowyang, @chrisbrogan, @charleneli plus some of the super-elite early adopters like @waynesutton but I like to follow authors & publishers sometimes just for changin’ it up.

There are certain WOF (Women of Faith) who are hysterically funny to follow and others who are not; again got to know what you want. Sometimes I like tongue-in-cheek, other times irony and I always like good link tips.

Most importantly, here’s who I don’t follow: those who only tweet every so often, except, of course, @donaldmilleris.

SHAMELESS PLUG - If you want to read about my overly thrilling life as a wife, mom, seminary student, & soon to be hospital chaplain, you can follow me at http://twitter.com/lorelaicc

http://twitter.com/pinkhairedgirl & http://twitter.com/flowerdust are great women of God that I am blessed to follow

That’s all I know. Hope it helps someone.

@erickyp - great friend and pastor of a church he planted 3 years ago in beautiful Destin, FL - very cutting edge, and their tech pastor @sblowes is somewhat of a genius and Mac guru

it’s great to look for people who are doing what you dream and follow their twitters - helps you see that all things are possible…

I’m so glad to see you posting on this. I have a theory with twitter and with blogs to reach people who are outside of our church community. Church people blog and comment on church peoples blogs, reply to church folks on twitter, and comment on youtube church videos.

We are obligated to reach people especially online. Glad to see you guys promoting this. If you want to read more about it you can google my “Next Button Theory” and see how we can impact people online.

The Deets

:: This whole Ragamuffin thing is simple. I'm just a screwed up man, in need of adoption, trying to be real. I was poured into, mentored, taught, and sometimes beat into authenticity by my family at Sandals Church. They created this beautiful mess of me and I'm forever grateful.
:: Now in the ATL with my hot wife and kids, I get to create relevant & engaging worship experiences every week. I am being shaped by Jeff Henderson and Andy Stanley at Buckhead Church. From creative sermon planning, to off the hook music experiences. This place is stretching me to my limits and I love it.
:: My life goal is to inspire a movement of authenticity among all generations of Christians that morphs the face of the evangelical church into a place of being real with yourself, others, and God.
