Just last week some BC friends were talking about Twitter, mostly trying to figure out what it was, why it was and who really uses it. BC pointed out that our first post mentioned Gospeler the Christian Twitter. We've been pretty skeptical of the value of "..a free service that lets you keep in touch with people through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?" since we really don't care to read about the sip of coffee or yummy doughnut just consumed. All that cynicism was quashed today with news that none other than Jubilant Joel Osteen is a Twitter-er. We can't wait to sign up so we can track J.JO's every move. Our single remaining jaundice fear is a Wizard of Oz like revelation that the tweets are written by some PR intern instead of Joel. For now, we're just excited to hear what Joel is doing and to see if he uses smiley faces.

I find it hard to believe that he Twitters. Hate to break it to you BC, but I think you're right about it being tweets from a PR flack.
Bummer! Now, is the technical term "tweets"? We're still perplexed.
