Social Media Questionaire

Hey faithful blog readers...

I've got a buddy... Ben Taylor... who is working on his Master's Degree (he's getting a master's degree in awesomeness as well...). He is seeking some help with Social Media and it's use among Church Leaders. Since you are reading this, there's a good chance that you utilize social media in some form (i.e.: facebook, twitter, blogs, foursquare, or something of the sort). If you are reading this, there's a good chance that you might be a church leader as well (i.e.: youth pastor, volunteer, staff member at a church, elder, deacon, etc).

Would you do him and me a favor?

I'm going to go with "yes" as your answer there. Answer these questions for him and email your answers directly to Ben Taylor at ben.taylor@onlinecfc.com.

We would both appreciate it a great deal. And you would earn credits toward your Master's of Awesomeness degree!

Thanks from both of us...
