Why “Gracebook” is a Terrible Idea
Let me explain something. The reason something like a “Gracebook” will never get my support – and the reason I sarcastically remarked about it – is because it’s a regurgitated idea.
So, just so we’re clear, here are some guidelines for creating a social network:
- Don’t create a network/service for a single demographic.
- Don’t charge money.
- Don’t name it anything stupid.
We clear?
I was going to make a funny comment about GodTube, but realized the name has been changed to tangle. Oh well.

Social networking is out. Customized new “original” (read: non-regurgitative) apps that bring together Believers is in. Case in point: http://www.frvnt.com

I want a website where, instead of sharing my faith with a real person, I can just send a short message via my cell phone.
It could be called “Textimonies”.

You and that crazy, steel trap brain of yours, Michael.
