I really enjoyed this story on NPR this evening. The story is partially tongue in cheek, but somewhat serious about the potential use of blogging in spreading the gospel, so to speak.
I thought this was a useful quote for us new bloggers: "Putting a message out over the Internet is exactly the same thing as losing total control of your message. People take it up, they republish it, they make fun of it, they contextualize it. The simple message becomes incredibly complex because of all the ideas that are pulled out and linked to it. That means that the very thing that you wanted in your message was control and what you ended up with was the opposite of control."
