<p>&#8220;First things first: Praise God.&#8221;  That&#8217;s how <a href="http://gospelr.com" onClick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/gospelr.com');">Gospelr</a> starts out its <a href="http://human3rror.com/2008/09/18/gospelr-ready-for-beta-testers/" onClick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/human3rror.com');">announcement</a> that the company&#8217;s microblogging service is officially ready for users to sign up and &#8220;spread the word.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/04/05/well-now-we-have-godtube/" onClick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.techcrunch.com');">bound to happen</a> sooner or later.</p>
<p>Gospelr is quick to point out that <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/14/friendfeed-is-this-years-twitter-but-why/" onClick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.techcrunch.com');">it&#8217;s not &#8220;just another Twitter.&#8221; </a> Instead, the site prides itself on being the world&#8217;s first &#8220;Ministry Microblogging&#8221; tool for those that want to share thoughts, ideas, words of encouragement, prayer requests, daily scripture readings, and oh so much more.</p>
<p>The company&#8217;s founder wants it to be more than a Christian Twitter, though.  Beyond being a place where people can chat it up about ol&#8217; JC, the company wants to be the place to &#8220;share the Gospel with those that have already heard the Good News (because we all could use a good reminderâ€¦ daily!) and those that have not.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gospelr tries to change the way people interact on the service too.  A normal &#8220;tweet&#8221; is colored in brown, while replies are green, and imported tweets from services like Twitter are colored in blue.Â  That coloring scheme will make it easier to identify what&#8217;s being said and who is saying it.</p>
<p>The service can also let users upload and share files like Pownce, and most importantly, it auto-refreshes the page so you don&#8217;t have to.</p>
<p><img class="shot2" src="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/gospelr_favicon_big.jpg" alt="Gospelr" /></p>
<p>Gospelr gained Twitter API source parameter approval, so whenever you tweet something in the service, you&#8217;ll notice an update on Twitter saying &#8220;from Gospelr.com&#8221; and it will also work with TweetDeck and other applications that let you syndicate material to Twitter.</p>
<p>Gospelr is available now for those that are looking to try it out.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re wondering what is my favorite feature of Gospelr.  Is it the chance to tell the world what I read in the Bible today?  Nah.  Is it the ability to hear others tell me about JC?  Nope.  It&#8217;s the RSS button.  Check it out.  Awesome, huh?</p>
