Poke Wars: The Facebook Battle Ground

So a great friend of mine, Mike Schnee, and I recently connected on Facebook. Since we are both dorks, we have been relentlessly using the “poke” feature of Facebook. Beyond Mike and I having our own little poke war, I really don’t see any need at all for the feature. If I want to contact a friend I will message them or write on their wall. The poke seems pretty useless, except for the fact that it turns Mike and I into two junior high kids going to a field trip with too much energy and trapped on a bus … which is probably pretty accurate. :)Are you on Facebook? How do you use it in Ministry? Have you setup a Facebook group for your ministry? Or is it just a way to connect with friends from college?Tony’s ProfileJosh’s Profile

    “poke”….i’ve extended the boundaries of it…i agree — quite pointless, but fun to be 13 again.

    I use facebook for a few things. #1 is my personal profile to stay in contact with old friends. #2 trendy way to stay in contact with the students from my ministry. #3 I have a private group set up for my student leaders, where we communicate about leadership stuff in between our meetings as leaders. #4 i have a public group set up so that people in my area can add themselves to it, on there we have links to our events calendar, posts about events, videos of our events, and wall posts about how people are excited about events and such. It’s been great! Teens are on it like crazy, so why not meet them there.
