Social Media and Evangelization

I just joined a community called TweetCatholic.  This site is aggregating Twitter users and publishing tweets as @TweetCatholic.  I found this community from a couple of tweets by the Archdiocese of St. Louis (@archstl).  The first one was about the USCCB making a statement about using Twitter as a way to evangelize.  The other one was about the USCCB starting a blog.

It's heartening to see the church hierarchy leveraging new technology to evangelize.  For quite a while now, I've followed numerous blogs as a way of keeping up with professional advances.  I started this blog partially because I felt like there weren't enough Catholic voices on the internet.  TweetCatholic and the USCCB blog are great ways to keep the faith alive and growing for a lot of professionals these days.  If nothing else, they provide better, more wholesome tidbits as opposed to a lot of the junk that is prevalent on the internet today.
