Mobile Ministry Magazine

I've been trying to figure out how to best comment on Google Wave, but really, all I can say is that it would be great that if as a web destination, that the conversations and interactivity here could mimic what was demonstrated with Google Wave. I think that in terms of conversations, connecting, and communication, that this is the kind of rich functionality that we should be looking towards here.

That being said, doing such things is near impossible at this point. There are too many variables that need to be taken into account (I think). Not to say that its impossible, but in this case, finding out how to beat impossible is fun and taxing.

That being said, I do think that Opera Unite points a direction as to how this could be done. It would have to be something in respect to making literal connections, but allowing collaboration and shared learning to be the thread moreso than it is now.

I see the content here as a smattering of social objects that we take like pieces of Legos then going back and forth crafting out appropriate uses of them. Commenting in places; literally dialoging in others; but all together making the conversation named MMM. While all the subjects within these conversations uses these elements to further empower people and communities towards seeing "Jesus with skin on" beyond this intersection of faith and mobile tech.
