Churches and synagogues don't see eye to eye on Twitter. While churches are quick to adopt technologies that may be used as ministry tools, synagogues are leery.
Twitter, a "microblog" that lets people send short messages to their friends' cell phones or Web accounts, is growing, but still slow to work its way into synagogues.
According to Monique Cuvelier, quoted in a recent article in The New York Times:
Leaders in other faiths are catching on, but moving slowly, said Monique Cuvelier, the chief executive of Talance, a web development firm in Boston, who attributes some of the resistance to the conservatism of any established institution, and some to a sense of privacy: Gossiping about the rabbi’s wife may be common in temple parking lots, “but having it end up on the Internet — that freaks some people out,” she said.
