After the Savior appeared to the Nephites, the Book of Mormon records, “And it was noised abroad among the people immediately, before it was yet dark, that the multitude had seen Jesus, and that he had administered unto them, and that he would also show himself on the morrow. … Yea, and even all the night it was noised abroad concerning Jesus ...” (3 Nephi 19:2-3). Apparently, the Nephites understood the social network concept.
Countless LDS members and others will also be “noising abroad” their thoughts, impressions and comments through various social media tools this weekend during the 182nd Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Through its website, the church is encouraging members to use Facebook, blogging, Google+, Twitter, and other social networks to promote the conference and invite others to listen to living prophets.
