Oasis Church has a website www.VisitOasis.org. The website in turn has an RSS feed for all articles. This allows people who use RSS readers to read the articles without visiting the website.
Oasis Church has a Twitter account. This account is new, no one knows about it and there's no plan to announce or explain it. I'm not sure if there are half-a-dozen twitter users in our church of 2,000 in weely attendance. Still, I put up a Twitter link on our website for those who are "in the know" to follow Oasis Church.
Today I linked our website RSS feed to our Twitter account through www.TwitterFeed.com. Each time someone on the church staff publishes an article, TwitterFeed will make sure the new article is posted as a status update on the http://twitter.com/oasischurchsfl Twitter stream.
Who knows if Twitter will catch on at our church like Facebook is starting to. I think it is going to remain a fairly niche audience. All I know is that this only took a few minutes to setup today. It cost nothing. I definitely have a better way to keep up with new articles published on the church website. I also have a way to discover some church folks using Twitter.
