Wed, 31 Oct 2007 16:31:45 +0000 http://pomomusings.com/2007/10/29/belonging-20/#comment-46930 What a fabulous conference! I'm a frequent writer on technology issues for the Church, and have been working to educate the church on how they can use Web 2.0 technology to further community and provide an "extension", if you will, to established physical communities within churches all over. The guys at Simon Solutions have created an incredible social networking platform called Oikos (http://www.oikoshq.com), which offers churches and other organizations a way to create a secure social community for their church/youth group/Bible study/ etc. Unlike myspace where anyone can see profiles and communicate, Oikos addresses the security concerns that many churches face: how will we provide community, yet make sure that people are able to interact in a safe environment where they can let their guards down? It sure is slow going to convince Churches that they need this type of Web 2.0 communication tool, but I think many are missing the boat if they don't at least provide something like this for the youth of their churches.

Also, in case the technology fails (knock on wood) during the event we are videotaping the whole thing and will put it on UStream after the fact.
