I love this site. In this age of scepticism, in this nation where once God was central to society, it's refreshing to see the media giving room for people of faith to express themselves. It's also encouraging to see people in the public eye declaring their belief in God. As much as I would like the segments to be longer, I believe the time limit suits our "quick fix", "giv eme now" generation. I'm going to tell my friends about this site Well done!

Seven Days
The viewer feedback on last week's #SevenDays is going to make tonight's show fascinating. Can the public improve the people??

FreshlyBakedCoo Reeeally pleased with how the interactive part of #sevendays is working out.It could of been such a flop but is actually impacting it a bit.

@caitlinmoran: #sevendays I am genuinely fascinated watching everyone reacting to having been on TV last week. This is a new format, ...

haze2003purple @C4sevendays It's really interesting to see people interact with the 7days cast and see how it affects them.

Ok #sevendays has just stepped it up a notch with this whole meta reacting to fame thing.

emmafreud #sevendays - genius or what.

vivi_best @c4sevendays is simply fascinating. the girls being questioned on the show about BEING on the show.. amazing.

BigBobster666 really enjoyed 'seven days' tonight loving the concept - Reality TV you can comment on. TV for the facebook generation :D #7day

eyekiller Not a fan of the show but Channel 4's #sevendays 'Twitter meets TV' interesting concept

gingio Susannah's chat in the back of the van with her friend about Ben proves the power of chatnav and twitter on #sevendays.

nickjessop68 @cassiegoldman as much as you drive me bonkers, i have to give you credit for getting stuck into this Sevendays interactive concept

LordLard Just caught up on #sevendays. Like the format with the feedback affecting the next show.

David Smith from Matchlight Productions in Glasgow says he could think of nothing else after watching the first episode of Seven Days. “It’s a really exciting development,” he says. “It’s the first time I’ve seen a programme unfold in as near to real time as possible. In this week’s episode we had the public in the show commenting on it in real life. I’ve never seen anything like that before.”
