On his Liturgy blog the other day, Bosco Peter pointed out an article from his local newspaper which described the probable closing down of Bebo. He quoted the following from the article:
Bosco comments: Now reread the above, and instead of Bebo think “church” – your parish, diocese, whatever. Any echoes?The site has lost members to Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.
Kaila Colbin, of Christchurch social media consultant Missing Link, compared Bebo to a party that people wanted to leave.
“You go to a party, everyone’s having a good time, but suddenly the momentum changes and someone says, `Let’s go to the pub’,” Colbin said. “And people start flowing out. And when people flow out, there is no way to recover that energy.
“The more you try, the more desperate you look and the more people want to leave.”
Check out the rest of what he has to say....it's quite thought-provoking!
