Episcopal Church General Convention

When the Lambeth Conference was held last year I read several blogs about the event as it unfolded. This time I wanted some different information.

The main web site from the Convention from the Church has only text documents - sort of boring. There is a media hub with on demand and live video and links to other sources - including blogs.

I tried searching Twitter for ECGC - which is the tag that I found referenced somewhere else.

The Twitter postings are very short - picture of the poster; name of the poster; short text; link to a blog entry.

Do I learn about what is happening at the Convention as it happens?
Am I learning something about Twitter?
I think - yes in both cases.

If I had wanted to I could have shared in a virtual prayer service in Second Life for the Convention. That is a whole different world.
