Again, a special thanks to Catalyst & Leadership Network for giving a dozen of us bloggers the opportunity to simulcast “The Nines“.
Yesterday’s simulcast, the landmark event featuring some of today’s most well known Christian leadership, was amazingly successful if you measure success in terms of numbers of viewers. As you can see from the visual, these 9 hours of 9 minute interviews with some of today’s most influential Christian authors, pastors, bloggers, scholars & communicators really changed the rhythmic pattern of my blog’s traffic flow. Additionally, although there were some ‘to be expected’ technical glitches, the vast archive of inspiration, admonishment, and insight will be drawn on for a long time.
The question I have been asked the most is “how can I see the videos I missed or want to watch again?” and I’m working on getting that answer as well as rounding up some embed codes to host some of my favorite clips here. The whole thing was a great experiment and we learned a lot of behind the scenes lessons I won’t go into today. However, one thing that stood out to me is that although people used our blogs to “watch” the videos, none of the commenting went on on blogs….. all the conversation action was on Twubs, Twitter, & via Texting.
Today, I’m headed to LA for the Christian Web Conference at Biola University and if you’re anywhere near, please stop by.











Cynthia, thanks for being a simulcast site and the post-event commentary!
