“First things first: Praise God.” That’s how Gospelr starts out its announcement that the company’s microblogging service is officially ready for users to sign up and “spread the word.”

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Gospelr is quick to point out that it’s not “just another Twitter.” Instead, the site prides itself on being the world’s first “Ministry Microblogging” tool for those that want to share thoughts, ideas, words of encouragement, prayer requests, daily scripture

The company’s founder wants it to be more than a Christian Twitter, though. Beyond being a place where people can chat it up about ol’ JC, the company wants to be the place to “share the Gospel with those that have already heard the Good News (because we all could use a good reminder… daily!) and those that have not.”

Gospelr tries to change the way people interact on the service too. A normal “tweet” is colored in brown, while replies are green, and imported tweets from services like Twitter are colored in blue.  That coloring scheme will make it easier to identify what’s being said and who is saying it.   Read More
