The document discusses Twitter and its relationship to the telecommunications industry, noting that Twitter allows for interactions and community building among its large user base for free. It explores how Twitter can be used to promote blogs, advertise innovations, and develop professional networks and ideas. The future of Twitter may involve further integration with telecommunication networks and making all text-based interactions free through advertising.

This document provides an overview of various technologies that can be used to establish and maintain an online presence. It categorizes the technologies into areas like community and collaboration, communication and feedback, and content curation. Examples of specific technologies mentioned include Facebook, Google+, WordPress, Skype, Twitter, YouTube, Scoop.It, and others. The document encourages exploring how one technology could be used to establish and maintain an online teaching presence, then posting about it online.

Young people, in particular, have grasped the enormous capacity of the new media to foster connectedness, communication and understanding between individuals and communities, and they are turning to them as means of communicating with existing friends, of meeting new friends, of forming communities and networks, of seeking information and news, and of sharing their ideas and opinions. What does this mean for catechetical ministry?
