Using Social Media For Good

By David Tonen • August 22nd, 2009

I discovered that 100 Huntley Street (a Canadian media ministry) has created two segments that they now share on YouTube to instruct Christians how they can utilize social media.  The first segment is called Using Social Media For Good and is a simple but well-done introduction to using social media to connect people and ministries.  Part 1 is embedded below for you to view.

I like what they have done.  I don’t watch Huntley much on TV – their audience is typically the over 50+ generation.  I like that they are stepping out of their traditional ministry platform (TV) and at least attempting to integrate social media.  Their social media following is still in its infancy (they only have 97 followers on Twitter for example) but they are trying!

They are not “following” anyone and I would hope that their social media integration would become more of a two-way connection and conversation.  Social media is not a one-way channel.
