Twitter – Perfect for Daylight Savings Time
Using Twitter as a Megaphone to reach a large and/or specific group of people in real-time on their cell phones is one of the most valuable aspects of Twitter. Churches often have a need to send announcements, reminders and last-minute updates to a large group of people.
Phone calls are usually impractical (even with a phone tree).
Emails may not be read in time (or in days!)
But instant text messaging to cell phones is the most likely and fastest way to reach the most people.
And here’s where today is a perfect example. If your church is using Twitter to update your entire church body from your main church Twitter account (each ministry should also have accounts for specific information as well) then you’ll be able to send a reminder late this afternoon to all of your church members about setting their clocks forward one hour so they’re not an hour late to church on Sunday!
Such a simple and effective use of Twitter for churches!
