In a few more iterations, it’ll just be a huge iris (à-la the Eye of Sauron) staring at the viewer. Work out your salvation with “fear and trembling” indeed!

Seriously, though, this is cool––particularly the ability to share/embed just the bit of a video you want. Very savvy.

It seems like every redesign features a bigger and bigger head shot of someone.

[...] A cutting-edge feature of the “share” and “embed” functionality is the option for the viewer to crop a video clip to a specific section and then share or embed just that piece. (Just drag the beginning and ending arrows to mark the section you want.) This is a great way to do missionary work online. [...]

I really like the AskaMormon.com idea. I’ve been running a similar question-and-answer forum on AllAboutMormons.com in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I could really use some help answering questions; it’s starting to get a little overwhelming, especially in Spanish. Visitors can subscribe to my site’s feed to know when new questions are posted.

I live a half hour north of the DC Temple. Each year, my family enjoys the 400,000 lights, live nativity, display of nativity sets, and the free nightly concerts!

I was at this event which was quite incredible. I was struck, however, by the fact that it does not seem like people really know what’s out there. It seems to me like the church could do a lot more to make it clear what tools are already available and what things are already done. Some of these ideas are simple and incredibly useful of course.

I love this! So awesome that the talks are online now. I’m super bummed I missed this. I’ve been wanting to meet Neeleman for so long. Next time I guess. I’ve met Christensen a couple times, amazing guy.

It’s kinda sad that these ideas are so unoriginal. Nobody knows what already exists… That would be a good place to start.

Comment on Texting and Education by Miles

Texting is a useful tool with todays teens to keep in contact when talking is not the best idea, such as at night if you have family that need to sleep. I agree that it is a big responsibility, because texting during class is not a good idea. I am a fan of incorporating today’s trends with useful intentions. I am sure a teacher could think of something creative with texting, perhaps. I am an 18 year old Clemson University Freshman, and texting has saved me many times. From setting up study sessions, to asking fellow classmates for quick aid when I need it. But, my argument is nothing without your point about responsibility. If moderated, or done responsibly, texting is completely harmless and very beneficial

Very nicely done. I’ll use it to share with our inactives and ward missionaries.
