Would You Use A Student / Youth Ministry Hashtag? #StuMin
Feb 23, 2009 Social Media, Twitter
I woke up this morning to find @3amjosh asking this question on Twitter:
Little did I know that there’s been a kid’s ministry hashtag (#kidmin) in use since February 3rd – and it’s been fairly widely adopted. So why haven’t us student ministry people been using one? Well, for one, it might be because of the method that we choose to update from. With so many people using SMS to update their status these days, it becomes a chore to A) remember to use the hashtag and B) fit it in with the other content of our tweets. Also, at one point should we use it and and what point should we not? Just because we in one way or another work in student ministry doesn’t mean that all of our tweets should be labeled that way, does it? Don’t get me wrong – I think it’d be great to aggregate all student ministry tweets. The best possible would be just like Zappos does it, having people in student ministry submit their usernames to be included in the stream. I don’t have the programming skills or time to set something like this up, but it would be great if someone out there did.
Until what I’ve just described happens, Josh, I, and several others have agreed on #StuMin, which keeps in line with #kidmin. Spread the word in tweets worldwide! Copy and paste the tweet below! You’ll be able to track the use of this Twitter hashtag here or here.
