Drew, notice I didn’t put MyChurch.org in the list :) I wanted to set MyChurch apart - its the only social network built around the church community as far as I can tell. We’re not in the race to become the “Christian Myspace”
Drew,
Thanks for including my site on the list. I just wanted to see if I could correct the web address to www.oaktreeidea.com. Like Mychurch.org (built around churches), we have tried to differentiate ourselves by targeting those that want to make a difference around the world through Christian social causes. Thanks again for including us on the list.

[…] Web 2.0 is growing rapidly in cyberspace. I knew that, but I hadn’t realized how much it had done so for Christians until I found Joe’s blog through the church technology review blog. Joe has kept an eye on things (I’d like to know how) and has updated his list since it was reprinted by the church technology review. […]
I don’t see ShoutLife, it actually seems to be the most active of the ones that I have tried.
I personally hope that some of the site either merge or go away. This is a pretty big list. The whole idea of social networks it to connect with people, but if the people are spread out over 20+ networks it does not seem nearly as effective to me.
Here’s a site filled with social ministry videos
holypal.com have been there for more than 2 years, created by a college student in his spare time, and was coded by a single indian programmer from scratch with 1 on 1 instructions on daily basis. after 2 years of its successful run, the creator thought the site became outdated and needed a new script, plus it was facing problems with all the scammers from Nigeria spamming the site. so the whole site was just deleted with ( close to 15000 accounts) and re-opened using ning asp service and offers more things like videos, tagging, web 2.0 customization, etc..
