“The Things That Connect Us” is Facebook’s first ad campaign, which was released , coincidentally, on the same day that we held a social media panel discussion at our international headquarters in Orlando. The ad campaign began on the day Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg made this announcement:
This morning, there are more than one billion people using Facebook actively each month. Continue reading “Facebook’s First Ad”
In my last post in this series, I summarized two excellent articles about mentoring women in technology and asked for your ideas. Today, I have some mentoring tips.

Alonzo DeJesus took the reins, bringing knowledgeable staff to the table to present ministry ideas for using digital and social media for MPD, with students, and more.

The diet advice he was getting from medical and other sources was, he decided, radically wrong. Rather than eat a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet, he adopted what he and other enthusiasts call a Paleolithic diet, eating as primitive humans did — e.g., beef, pork, chicken, leafy green vegetables. Cooksey lost 75 pounds and the need for drugs and insulin. And, being a modern Paleo, he became a blogger, communicating his dietary opinions.
When a busybody notified North Carolina’s Board of Dietetics/Nutrition that Cooksey was opining about which foods were and were not beneficial, the board launched a three-month investigation of his Internet writings and his dialogues with people who read and responded to them.

I watched this 7-minute report from the American CBS news more than a year ago, but is still current enough to share with you. It’s a balanced perspective on worship, fellowship, and technology, as well as a look into what other faiths are using technology for. Thoughts? NOTE: Meet e4e author Russ Martin and read Russ’s posts on e4e. Continue reading CBS News: Faith in Technology, Literally
