Tim over at Life in Student Ministry posts some thoughts about creating online communities for youth ministry. In it, he gives some thoughts on a talk by Rick Klau.
Some of them are very interesting. Here are the ones that caught my attention:
- Give people a voice in our community. Give them a place to interact. This works perfectly in the context of the church. People will be more attracted to us as an organization.
- A funny dance video online makes 30 million views in 4 months not from big marketing campaigns but from people telling friends and sharing it online.
- MySpace is overtaking Google for the most traffic on the Internet. People spend more time interacting with friends on MySpace than they do looking for information.
- One hundred million people watch YouTube every day. That’s more than how many people are watching TV.
There are more. Check out the article to see them. Then check out the audio file.
