Citizen Journalism Is A Farce | Six Pixels of Separation - Marketing and Communications Blog and Podcast - By Mitch Joel at Twist Image

21 hours ago - Link

Any citizen "witness" can record an event, answering the "who, what, when, where and how." A journalist goes beyond this to seek out the all-important "why." - Justin Long

A witness can answer who, what, when, where, how. Journalists go beyond this to ask why. For a blogger to be more than a simple witness he must go with depth into the "why" of an event. I have not yet watched the video but want to. - Justin Long via Bookmarklet

Prayer and Fasting for Evangelism | Lausanne World Pulse

22 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link

Evangelism is a way to gain unbelievers to God. We cannot evangelize without prayer. Prayer is the key ingredient in evangelism; we must pray before, during and after we tell others about Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Fasting is choosing to remove the distractions, giving the Lord God our full attention and asking him to be at work as we evangelize. Combining prayer with fasting connects the natural to the supernatural. - Justin Long via Bookmarklet

“interesting question - what is the difference between a forum and a blog?”

yesterday at 4:23 am - Link

Typically I think a forum is a place that expects many-to-many conversations potentially facilitated by someone; a blog is someone's personal one-to-many publication that occasionally facilitates many-to-many conversations. - Justin Long

See my FF response (>140). If all your feeds are in a folder, go to Manage Subscriptions, then Tags and then delete the tag there. Now all the feeds in that folder will appear in the "root level", unless I guess if you stored in 2+ tags/folders. To create a new folder, select a feed then store in a New Folder. Now, to get the other newly-"rooted" feeds into that folder, go into Manage Subscriptions and then click on Unassigned. This will select the root feeds. In the drop-down, choose the desired tag. - Mike Reynolds

Thanks Mike! Yup, the problem is I don't want the feeds anymore so deleting the tag makes all 100+ feeds show up at root level, which means i have to go to Manage Subscriptions click on 'Unassigned' and unsubscribe manually. Another problem is that when I try to unsubscribe a large number of feeds, G reader often times out....had to click like 10 times to make it work. Bloglines had this fast one-click delete all feeds + folder feature that I really miss.. - Maki

This is old but one way to do it is to go to your subscriptions and search for the folder name. it will show all of the accounts in the folder. then you can check them all and hit unsubscribe. I'm glad you could delete a folder - mine says "oops an error occurred" everytime I try. - Justin Long

Blast from the past. Thanks Justin! - Maki

"Projecting" means the exit polls are determined to be definitive enough to "make a projection" that the vote count will be in favor of a candidate. "Calling" means current vote count is determined to be definitive enough to "call the sate" for a candidate. - MikeAmundsen

I must be missing something with twitter. Is it more appealing to the mobile tweet crowd because although I've tried to find something compelling about it, I always come back to friendfeed. I use my mobile phone to make and receive calls only. I know; boring. - Mattb4rd

The M Blog: Money and S. Baptist Global Missions Efforts

Gob of statistics related to IMB workers. - Justin Long via Bookmarklet

2 more comments

Interesting statistics, seem to indicate that baptisms and conversions are purchased using dollars! The counter factual would be interesting to know - how many baptisms might there have been if the money had not been spent? Good work for someone to put such stats together! - Jim Harries

I think its more of an argument that its better to invest $ in missions where there is more responsiveness than necessarily at home where responsiveness is less? Note the comparison with US $ per baptism! - Justin Long

You are right. But - statistics can still be a bit misleading. Perhaps the UK could consider that the episcopal church in the US is a 'missionary church', so UK has a missionary couple working in the US. Let's say the episcopal church baptises 1000 people per year, and the UK couple need £10,000 annually. That is £10.00 per baptism. The implication, that an extra £10 would baptise an extra person, is a bit of a stretch. It ignores American indigenous initiatives, doesn't it? - Jim Harries

One could make that implication, but I think it would be an incorrect implication and I would hope people would be corrected if they made it. I think these kinds of statistics are more useful as general measures of cost-effectiveness or of responsiveness. Another, and perhaps better, measurement is number of conversions per worker. - Justin Long

November 2 at 6:29 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link

Yet another in-depth case study of how the Obama campaign built an incredibly swarmish, decentralized political network that effectively won this campaign. More and more I think this was just as much about the way the campaigns worked (decentralized vs centralized) as it was about the ideology. This campaign needs to be investigated for its swarmish techniques as much for anything else. - Justin Long via Bookmarklet
