ourCOG TAKEOVER (A Decade Later): The ourCOG Twitter Handle
ourCOG.org was launched on 18 October, 2010 at 06:08 AM
Two years after the ourCOG social media was released successfully, it joined Twitter in October 2012 via its Original Twitter/Social Media Account of #ourCOG™ Media Team handle: @ourCOG https://twitter.com/ourcog
This was done for the purpose of auto-archiving #ourCOG social stream using RSSteX proxies like FeedBurner and Paper.li among many others. The proper archive could be seen via the URLs (in green) attached to this post.
Almost immediately, on Oct 11, 2012, 6:59 AM (in the morning AM)
ourCOG, You have a new follower on Twitter: Clark Campbell @BenjaminClark
In times of change, learners inherit the earth… [Followed by Church of God DOE and 4 others.]

Hi!
My name is Clark. I manage the social media accounts for the Church of God International Offices.
For the sake of effective communication, can I ask your name?
We are launching many new things in the world of COG on Social Media and we are trying to collaborate with all Church of God social platforms and users.
How long have you been using the @OurCOG twitter handle and what is your mission/purpose in using it? Thanks for your help. Look forward to hearing from you!
