They are also largely from key ministries that I'm interested in following. As for my twitter postings ... I almost always post to something signficant that others may find useful. As for Facebook, most of the folks I follow are family, friends and friends in ministry ... and in contrast to twitter, most of these postings are quite trivial.

I think like everything media centered you need to be purposeful - and I am reminded of Paul, who said you need to be all things to all people. I see it as an opportunity to reach those that are enamored by technology, and show them meaning and relevance to their lives by way of Christian oriented topics. I am always very intentional about my posts on all these types of forums, including facebook, blogs and twitter - and I see it as an amazing opportunity to reach people for Christ... and meet them where they are at!
