All a waste of time?

Since we've been on the subject of social networking sites, here's some thoughts from Seth Godin. In fairness, the question is being put to him in the context of business, but his comments are interesting.

Godin's considered a (big) bit of a marketing guru. You can find his blog here.

Look forward to your comments.

Facebook: Connection without community?

Interesting article found at Christianity Today.com entitled The Facebook Fast. It poses the question "Can community happen online?"

Have a read and let me know what you think.

The Death of Facebook?

I've just discovered RelevantMagazine.com. It seems worthy of the occasional look.

One article that caught my attention is entitled The Death of Facebook. You can read it here. It begins with some thoughts - critical - about the Facebook '25 Random Things' phenomenon (I admit that I hadn't heard of it before) and goes on to pan social networking facilities, specifically Facebook and Twitter.

Would love to know what you think of the article, especially if you're on Facebook.

Between Two Worlds has a review on The Tale of Desperaux . Anyone seen the movie? What do you think?

Mark Driscoll reflects on his lowest church attendance for years.

Interesting article in The Mail about believing scientists. The quote below from Professor Stuart Burgess of Bristol University will give you a taste:

'The most moving evidence for Christianity I have seen is when a person with a broken life puts their trust in the Lord Jesus and finds healing, peace and purpose.'

According to Professor Burgess, a spacecraft specialist who designed the solar panels of a £1.4 billion satellite: 'This is what the Christmas message is really about.' Exactly.
