There is no doubt that social media and online platforms have provided opportunities for public witness and evangelism like never before.
In February 2004 Mark Zuckerburg launched Facebook, originally as a way of keeping in touch with friends; it quickly became a tool for sharing news, information and ideas.
In 2006 what was called a ‘microblogging’ service was launched. Called Twitter (originally Twttr) it encouraged short, snappy comments. The name was taken from the sounds of birds and defined as ‘a short burst of inconsequential information’.
