The UK’s Church of England has launched a so-called social-networking campaign to encourage people to discuss how they can make the world a better place during Lent. The campaign site, livelent.net has more info but someone needs to tell these people that there is more to it than throwing up a few groups on Facebook, MySpace and Flickr (their group is empty). Perhaps they should talk to this guy about Church 2.0?

    Oh come on, points for at least trying? Personally I think churches are a fantastic market for web 2.0 tools (see http://www.ekklesia360.com) – they just need a lot of guidance as opposed to creating a profile on all the latest sites they’ve heard of.

    Andrew – OK, OK, points for trying. They’d be better off with Druapl install or a Ning site IMHO though
