December 17 - Rick Warren Among Forbes' 20 Most Influential Twitter Celebrities

According to the klout profile, Warren "has built a very large and expanding network quickly through quality, trustworthy content, and he is regularly engaged by other influential people who often act on or amplify his messages."

While Warren appreciates Twitter as a way to reach out to a more diverse audience, particularly those who'd never attend a church service, he stressed, "[T]echnology is never an end in itself and the message still trumps the medium.

"Hopefully, these new channels help begin conversations that will lead to deeper, face-to-face community, through our small groups and one-on-one friendships."
