Sure enough, I pulled up GodTube.com today only to be redirected to Tangle, the new version of the site, including a redesign to go along with it.  The site now offers not only video sharing – but blogs, photos, music (band pages), playlists, and more.  It essence, it’s now a Christian version of MySpace.

I must admit, I’m always skeptical when Christians take ideas that have already been done well by someone else and make the faith-based.  However, if it’s going to be done, it must be done well.  And given the funding that the service received, it looks like they have put the time and resources into doing it well.  What do you think about it?

Much thanks to Relient K, one of Meredith’s clients, for the soundtrack.

As someone who manages several Twitter accounts between work and my personal life, I was thrilled to come across Splitweet this week.  Splitweet is a website that allows you to  setup the credentials for each Twitter account you run to pull all of your Twitter feeds on to one page.  The tweets from all of your accounts appear in one stream. While this sounds like it might get confusing, the service assigns each of your accounts a different color.  To the far right of each tweet, there is a small box that is colored to coincide with the account that the tweet is associated with.  It uses the same feature to show you which accounts you sent each tweet from.

Just as if you were logged into Twitter, you can post tweets, send replies, and even direct messages across all of your accounts.

One thing I love about the site is the ‘brand mentions’ area in the sidebar. Rather than having to use TweetScan or visit Twitter Search, Splitweet displays any mention of your brand on the same page that you send and read your tweets from.  It displays your most recent @replies in the sidebar as well.

While I absolutely love how much easier Splitweet has made my life over the past few days, there is one major feature that keeps me going back to the Twitter website from time to time.

The site does not give you the ability to manage your followers.  Yes, there are sites that allow you to do this outside of Twitter – such as MyTweeple.com.  But the goal here is consolidation.  I don’t want to have to visit more than one site to manage my accounts (mainly because I’m lazy).  As a general rule, I try to follow everyone that follows me.  While Splitweet does show you an estimated ‘tweet audience’ when you choose which account to send a tweet to, there is no way to see your newest followers and follow them back.  So for my main LifeWay account, StudentMinistry, which gets a couple of new followers every day – I still have to visit Twitter to manage them.

In addition to Splitweet, this video by CHURSMO shows how you can use Netvibes to display all of your accounts on one page.  However, Splitweet offers more funcationality.

Overall, I give Splitweet 4 out of 5 stars.

Based on this video, I don’t believe the winner is the MinoHD.  The sound and color on the Zi6 is much better.  I’m still waiting to see a side-by-side comparison of the VadoHD with the Zi6 before I make my final decision on which I think is best.
