Many of you may have jumped on the twitter band wagon in the last month or so. If you're like me, you started with great excitement and compulsively twittered your status every 10 minutes to that addictive little website. But, as time went on, you tired of wading through all the updates from the people you follow, and now you check back less frequently and only tweet once or twice a day. You've wondered, "what's the point!"
Well, Westwinds Church, in Jackson, MI, has found a useful use for Twitter. They encouraged members of the church to twitter their experience during the service. They even projected the Twitter comments on one of the main screens, broadcasting everyone's comments - during the service. It gave members a way to interact with the service and each other. To some it was distracting, to some it was helpful.

It seems you could also use Twitter to get live feedback from your congregation, like a live survey.
What do you think of this use of Twitter in church? Interesting? Heretical?
