When it comes to communication tools, we are in such prolific times. YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, blogs, texting, etc… along with older forms like the phone and personally getting together with each other.
While all of these tools are great, I am wondering which is the most effective, or what combination or recipe works best for you as you lead/communicate with others, ministries, groups, etc… I am not looking for what the “coolest” tool is, but the most effective.
I would love to hear your story. Please comment.

email.
Hands down best way to get a hold of me and will usually warrant the quickest response.
Even my wife resorts to email when she really wants me to pay attention.
I encourage group leaders to keep a short list of how each of their leader communicates best. I love texting, but some of the folks on my crew need emails, some phone calls, some MySpace. I keep a journal with how my team members communicate best and try to work around what the best way for them to “receive” is.
I prefer a phone call, text or email - I want the info to come to one place - my crackberry.

I’m all about the email still. I think that other services can be effective, but I know that I check my email more often than anything else during the day and that it is probably the most common method out there.
The messaging tools in Facebook and Myspace can also work well. The biggest downfall I’ve found with Myspace is that you can only send one message to a single person at a time, which really can bog things down when you need to get a message out to several people and don’t have an email option. Of course, depending on what you want to communicate, the “best” option can rapidly change.
