The Vatican, which already has its own website, Flickr photo feed, YouTube channel and Facebook page has added tweeting to the holy arsenal of getting Christ's message out. Pope Benedict XVI sent out his first tweet (in an iPad no less) Wednesday launching the Vatican's foray into yet another realm of social media. It is amazing to me how connected the world is becoming and it is important that we begin to understand how all of us can use social media to our advantage, whether it is getting the word out about religion or using it as an instructional tool.
Thanks Mike for the photo!
ReplyDeleteI heard about the news on TV but hasn't seen the photo of him doing it! It is very powerful when thinking about this, especially when it comes to spreading the words about religion, beliefs, and values.
