Social Networking?

Since we just started “tweeting,” let’s talk a little bit about these social networking sites. We are in the process of publishing a Facebook page (for all of you who have asked), and these two things will hopefully bring everyone together here at the Tree. What we want to know is:

1. What social networking sites are your favorites?
2. How much time do you spend on them?
3. What are your main reasons for doing so?

    Myspace. I am on there all the time. Every one of my fav. Southern Gospel groups have a myspace except for the Talley Trio :) . I usually am on myspace for talking to friends, talking with my fav. groups and checking their scheduale.

    Myspace. U guys need one. That’s where I spend most of my time. Every one of my favorite SOuthern Gospel groups have a myspace except for the Talley Trio :) . I use myspace to talk to my friends, and talk to the artists. Some individuals from some of the groups have their own personal myspace which it is always fun to talk to them on a personal level. But yeah, ya’ll should get one. I spend a lot of time on myspace.

      Dear Debra,

      ” Be Faithful And Consistent ” is the title of Connie’s Corner in the recent issue of Singing News. In our constantly changing world, where today right is wrong and wrong is right; it is so refreshing and encouraging to witness your family honestly trying to be faithful and consistent to God and His Biblical principles. You have not forgotten what the Gospel is all about, and you inspire us to be better people.

      Connie wrote, ” Everybody is interested in big things. People like to think them and talk about them. Yet, the world is made up of little things.” She goes on to describe some of the little things in life, and what God thinks of them.

      In my opinion, at the end of the day it comes down to this simple little truth – only one life and soon it’s past, only what’s done for Christ will last.

      Happy Birthday Debra !

      Enjoy your special day – family and friends are chocolate chips in the cookie of life. :)

      Jeff

      What a great post, Jeff. Thanks for the confidence you have in us. We have been blessed beyond anything we could have hoped for. Connie and I think alot alike and how true her words and yours are. Life is all about the simple daily blessings. Many of us are always looking for something bigger that may or may not happen in the future. God has so much for us on a daily basis, if we will just open our eyes. Since you mentioned friends and family being the chocolate chips in the cookie of life (I like that!), last weekend I went home to visit my family in KY. I only get to see them a couple of times a year. After we left to come home on Sun, my folks got a call that my dad’s brother past away. He had been in hospice care. One of my uncle’s daughters, my cousin, didn’t go to her own father’s funeral. What a tragedy! It made me so thankful for my family and that I had just had the opportunity to spend some time with them. Life is a vapor so I hope you, me and everyone will seize this momemt.

    I’m primarily on Facebook.

    I used to be on MySpace, but I deleted my account when I found that its founder had also run a porn site.

    Besides, by that point, most of my artist and non-artist friends had moved over to Facebook and were more active there.

    Both…Facebook preferably, there are not as many sketchy people on facebook. Myspace has a lot of bad things/people on it. It seems that more people update facebook and are on than they are twitter, or myspace. Its a great way to keep up with people, old friends. Just my 2 cents! =)

    I primarily use Facebook. Most of my friends and family use that and many of my favorite SG artists do as well. I check it several times per day, but spend little time on it each time I check. I follow a select few peoples Tweets, but I rarely tweet myself. Glad to hear y’all will be creating a Facebook page!

    Mostly facebook, usually check it several times a day, sogocity, gaithercommunity, shoutlife. I left myspace because of the advertisements. I miss my grandchildren and friends that are on there. It was just too much for me. I’m on these sites to communicate with family and friends. I enjoy the Christian fellowship and hide the ones that need to be saved or grow in the Lord.

    I use Facebook. I like that only the people I allow can see my info and pages. It has been a great way to connect with people from years ago. It is also a great way to keep up with the daily events in the lives of “the famous”…..singers and writers such as yourselves. I look forward to spending time on your page when it is up and running.

    I check facebook everyday and probably spend an hour each time.

    I go to facebook because it is a fun, quick way to keep up with family and friends.

    Facebook has been the safest site, (so far)

    I am on Facebook and I check it alot. I like it because I have gotten in contact with friends that I have known most of my life that I had lost contact with. Alot of SGM artists have fan pages as well as their own profile page. Kirk just recently joined. I am on Gaither Community just not as much as I used to be. I still check it because I have made such goo Christian friends on there. I can’t to find you on Facebook.

      AMEN Lauren! It’s getting closer to the Fall season, Ravens training camp is going on and I’m starting to get the itch. As far as the social networking thing goes though. I only use the Tree–O and have just started doing twitter. I haven’t done the Facebook thing yet. I haven’t had a lot of time to mess with it. I’m sure your Dad told you by now I booked the Trio for October. I’m going to be pretty involved getting things ready for October. Sounds like the Trio has a pretty full plate too lately.

    Hi Mark (and everyone else)!

    I am finishing up the new CD this week and we hope to have them by Sept 4 at The Gatlinburg Gathering. We ran into a problem with the videos that we had made during the recordings and the rest of them had to be scrapped. Sorry about that! I’ll go ahead and give you a song list since you guys only got the first four.

    Amazing Grace, The Promise, Just A Little Talk With Jesus, Pass Me Not, Its Jesus, How Big Is God, Hold On, He’s A Personal Saviour, If It Had Not Been, He’s Alive, Oh What A Reason, and Hes So Good To Me.

    I’m really excited about this project and we can’t wait to start singing them on stage. We hope you enjoy this recording.

    Facebook is my choice. I spend way way too much time on it. I’ve become addicted to some of the growing games & have to check on my crops, etc. frequently. It’s nice to get re-connected to people you’ve lost track of over the years as well.

    I have a MYSPACE & I’m on Tweeter but only spend minutes in comparison to the hours I can spend on Facebook.

    I have Twitter, Facebook and Family-n-Faith Network pages. I LOVE all three of these. I really like that I can update on Twitter and it automatically puts my update on Facebook – so I only type once! LOL

    Family-n-Faith started out as a women’s only site, (Christian Women Connected) but then it was decided that the husbands and children also wanted to be able to connect, so we changed it to include them.

    I didn’t like Twitter when I first signed up there but it was really new at the time and I didn’t really understand it – now I LOVE it – it is so great to get bits of encouragement all throughout the day just by realizing that we are all just PEOPLE – we ALL put our pants on one leg at a time and we ALL have joys and sorrows along this journey called life. Like someone on Twitter said (Lisa Whelchel, I think). . . 140 words is plenty to give you that encouraging lift you need sometimes :)

    I’m glad y’all are on Twitter now and also glad to see that you are working on getting on Facebook. I’ll be looking for ya there :)

    In His Love,
    Kathryn

    Facebook is my favorite because I have gotten hacked on myspace twice. I think facebook may be a little safer. I at least get on facebook once a day or once every other day.

    I like it because I can socialize with people from my past. I am talking elementary school, high school, college, even old teachers that I have had are my friends. I have chatted with several gospel singers too. It feels really cool to get a message back from one of your fave singers. I talked to Stella Parton a few times. I wouldn’t have done that if I didn’t have facebook. It’s really neat. Jason Crabb talks to everybody too.

    I love ya’ll and hope your doing well.

    I just wanted to say that I very much enjoyed hearing you guys last month.

    I heard you in Shrewsberry PA with my dads group, the bay city quartet. It was an awesome night! That was my first time hearing you all. As soon as we got in the car I was singing your songs. I went home donwloaded everything on itunes and printed the lyrics. I plan to sing some of your songs at my church. You all were truley a blessing to me. I also must add that I loved Laurens outfit. You are quite the fashionista. Also my brother loved helping your sound guy ( I dont remember his name) he talked about it for days. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.

    God bless
