Michael Hyatt's new book 'Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World' is receiving a lot of praise. Hyatt is the chairman of Christian Publishers Thomas Nelson.

Research study released into Christian use of social networking
A questionnaire-based research study into social media evangelism by Christian Vision has just been published.

How to use video clips for social networking and mobile phone evangelism
Since its launch in 2005 (history), YouTube has grown to be the definitive place to find and share video shorts. By 2012, 60 minutes of new video content were being posted to YouTube every minute, with over 2 billion videos viewed worldwide each day. It's the default place to post short clips, with Vimeo as a distant second for longer videos. YouTube is now the world's second-largest search interface, after Google. Video shorts are a strategic opportunity for social networking and mobile phone evangelism.
