As a writer and news hound, I’m pretty excited about Twitter.Maybe it’s my instinct for editing that gets all happy about the 140-character limit on the micro-blog platform.Maybe it’s getting quick news items and pithy comments from interesting people that pumps me up.
One recent Sunday, I wondered what it would be like to post blogs from the worship service at City on the Hill. I read many posts from people at conferences and conventions. Why not church where so many interesting things happen?
I heard from one friend who was hanging out at home that Sunday and watched the whole series of posts in real time. Success!Here are the posts, with the most recent first.
