A Social Media Prayer (Updated for 2013)

Our user profiles, who art online,

hallowed be our names.

Thy check-ins done,

thy badges won,

on Earth as they are on FourSquare.

Give us this day our smartphone apps.

And forgive us our overuse of emoticons and Instagram filters,

as we forgive those who tag us in old high school photos on Facebook.

And lead us not into print,

but deliver us from Google, er, evil.

For thine is the Vine, the Snapchat and the Pinboard, for ever and ever — at least until the next damn thing comes along.

Amen.
