Introduce a new idea and people naturally tend to resist it.
Elder Ballard said in December 2007 that we can and should use the Internet to join the conversations and share the Gospel.
We discussed the article in class this morning. Everyone agreed with the concept that it is a good thing to do. But actually doing it? That met with some resistence.
Nephi's brother Jacob said, "Wherefore we labored diligently among our people, that we might persuade them to come unto Christ, and partake of the goodness of God, that they might enter into his rest."
Successful leadership requires diligence and continual laboring. It's easy to throw an idea out there and walk away from it at the first sign of resistence. However if it's worth doing, it's worth laboring for.

Sounds like it wasn't an immediate success... hopefully they warm up to it, it's a brilliant idea.
