I came to the conclusion that it is inappropriate to tweet during a worship service. Personally, I already feel such a strong pull to be disconnected and become a "reporter/commentator" rather than an engager and a worshipper. Plus, why is my opinion about something really that important. Also, I need time to process, rather than spout off immediately. I blogged about this. http://joshbrage.com/?p=1964 At Lifesong we will encourage heavy tweeting before and after. Probably even do tweet questions, etc. . . However, we will discourage tweeting service and encourage engagement, sanctuary and focus in the worship service. (This includes the message.)

(I don't have a cool phone that tweets easily either, but if I did I probably wouldn't anyway) For me, I feel distracted if I'm grabbing my phone during the service. Any of the 5 reasons to tweet in church can be done before or after and still spread the good news. Now, I know that real time is what Twitter is about. So, maybe you have a tweet team during the service. As in, a small group (maybe 10) of people who tweet about service during service. Maybe rotate them. Ok, my 2 cents.

You may follow for what people are thinking, but that isn't why teens join social networks. I also agree that a pastor or (adult) friend shouldn't have to worry whom they friend based on age. It's a lot easier not to worry when they initiated the online connection. I agree that teens are responsible for the safety of their tweets, I just don't think there is much out there for them.

Lets not forget that worship is more than the sermon; and on the flip side the sermon is not a "worship time-out." How can we worship when our attention is diverted. Tweet after church (and after the donuts as well...) Those suggestions only consider the sermon part.
