Twitter is courting evangelicals. "Twitter is just made for the Bible."

"...evangelical Christian leaders whose inspirational messages of God’s love perform about 30 times as well as Twitter messages from pop culture powerhouses like Lady Gaga. ...

And so, with this new insight, the company sent a senior executive, Claire Díaz-Ortiz, on a mission: to bring more religious leaders into the Twitter fold. ...

'Pastors tell me, Twitter is just made for the Bible ,' Ms. Díaz-Ortiz said."

Twitter's just another fad like Facebook. I lost interest after about 2 days. YAWN!
