Social Networking

I have been slow to get into the whole "social networking" scene but I have tried to jump in with both feet this year. It actually started with my son Matt wanting to connect with his friend on Facebook. So as good parents, we told him if he was going to be on Facebook, so would we. I also recently found out about Twitter, which is a online and cell phone based social network. The interesting thing about Twitter is that you can only post 140 characters at a time inlcuding spaces and periods. I have found many current friends, caught up with old friends and even made some new friends on both of these sites. And many Christian artists and ministries are on Facebook and Twitter allowing you can keep up with what they are doing and even sharing your comments.

Many people stay away from "social networks" because of all the news of stalkers and just plain junk on the sites. I will admit there are times that the ads on the sites are not very savory but you can actually change most of the ads once they come up. Both of these services are FREE to users so we have to realize that they have to make money through advertisers to pay for the techonology.

So take that first step and join myself and most of the staff of Northern Christian Radio. In fact, just today we started a group page for Northern Christian Radio on Facebook. Follow the links below for the social networking sites we use.
