I have just tweeted and blogged yesterday and again this morning about the church needing to explore what the "Social Graph" means for us. I've tweeted and blogged about it on several occasions, and I get the Twitter equivalent of a blankk stare (ie. Absolutely nothing, can hear a pin drop) Since many of my twitter followers are church communication people, I find this frustrating, to say the least. I relate to this: "Facebook will be more important than Google, because it has the power to sort or filter information based on our relationships: which is a natural human function" This is an important insight that is all over what I am trying to express, and you are one of only a few I can find actually thinking about this. My take: Churches/church orgs need to discover how to begin building their own API-accessible "shared silos" (in contrast to regular "silos" where they keep all their data to themselves). There are so many "theological" social graph relational "hooks" that could be harnessed to help us build something for tyhe church that captures folks as Facebook has with their social graph. Thanks for your work on this. You do a great job of articulating it. Hope you stop by to "visit me" online (@dlature on Twitter and at my blog/website ) Dale Chris,
