Superstar and Social Media

I watched the film Jesus Christ Superstar the other night (like I do almost every year at this time). Easily identifiable as a a movie from 1973 with the music, the bell bottoms, the fringe, and all things groovy! Yeah, I'm a child of the '70s...and proud of it.

One part of a song by Judas particularly struck me:

If you'd come today you would have reached a whole nation.

Israel in 4 B.C. had no mass communication.

Certainly, the '70s had TV, radio, and newspapers. Lots of ways to spread the message more effectively. But imagine the concept of "mass communication" today in a world of social media! Naturally, the word would have traveled faster and farther. But I'm not going to delve into a religious discussion about how that might have impacted the ministry. I just got to wondering: What would status updates and check-ins have looked like during Holy Week?

You just +1'd this page on The Marketplace and shared it with your circles.

Those are just a few examples that came to me easily. There are plenty of other social networks with which I am not particularly familiar. Which ones do you use, and how would you share the events preceding Easter?
