Kevin Watson, who blogs at Deeply Committed, has started an experiment to see how much social capital Methobloggers have. This experiment was prompted by the feeling among some Methobloggers that United Methodism does not always do as good of a job as it could at getting the Wesleyan message out there, particularly online. So, Kevin wants to see how many views a YouTube video can get if Methobloggers work together to promote it. The experiment is to see how many hits the video will receive in two weeks.

If you want to participate you can: First, watch the video below. Second, copy and paste this entire post into a new post on your blog and post it. Third, remind people about this experiment in one week.

Based on the results of the experiment, Kevin will get in touch with the folks at Discipleship Resources and let them know the ways in which Methobloggers are often an underused resource.

I think this is an excellent idea.  And I’ll be interested to see what comes of it.  The sooner us Methodists improve our presence and ability to mobilize online the better.

You can find the other participants in this experiment here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here and here, and here. And here. Oh…and here.
