The Connect Deck

July 23, 2009

in everything

I am really encouraged and excited about the tech-direction of Campus Crusade for Christ in the next few years.

I just got out of a Social Networking seminar that (though sparsely attended) was headed in very good directions helping our staff to think about blogging, Twitter and Facebook and how they can be used to bring more students into the conversation on campus about Jesus.

There were older staff who were interested in starting blogs and asking great questions. There were staff who were even asking for what hosting service they should check into. These are huge steps. I underestimated us significantly.

There were also at least 25 staff who probably just signed up for Twitter.

The largest, and most encouraging thing is the Connect Deck. There are 5 of us at each main session who are monitoring the Social Media streams (Twitter, Facebook Chat, SMS) and pulling things out of it to put into the conference itself. It’s been great to be seen as some sort of authority on it – and I think I may be within our organization. I have felt behind the larger curve, but I am ahead here.

How do you think we could be using these technologies better?

I’m helping to run a major conference’s social media/networking team (Campus Crusade for Christ US staff conference; 6,000+ people). It’s been working well all week, but now it’s not…

Oh, wait. It’s working now.

Way to get on the ball Twitter.
