Wow! Between these “ads” and the “Brand New Day” website, I’m really impressed with what the Church is doing to reach out to the youth. Keep it coming!

Excellent Video. Someone should create a video like this one specifically for searching LDS content on the web.

I’ve had 5 generation of PDA phones now and finally happened upon one that meets nearly all my needs. It is the Motorola Q through Verizon. It synchs well, speed dial is convenient, radio strength is excellent, battery life (extended battery) is longer than 24 hours even with heavy use. It is the best of Blackberry and Treo combined. I have not tried the iPhone yet. I was scared away from it by a co-worker with email exchange issues.

I find using arcane terms of disdain diffuses tension.

Hogswallop…now there’s a word you don’t see used everyday. But your point is well made. I guess if you hadn’t known anything about this new site and the purpose, it would be confusing to go there and not understand why it was created in the first place. I think your sample statement would have been helpful if it had been included.

My family was at an advantage in that one our nieces was in it. She said it was like “High School Musical” and was thoroughly impressed. We have known about it for a couple of months. I imagine Larry, who posted this, probably had that same familiarity and perhaps didn’t think that others might not know anything about it, but then, I can’t speak for Larry.

(Of course, their statement wouldn’t have featured so many typos.)

And you inspired me, Tim, to visit LDS.org to see the link. And there’s more verbiage on LDS.org than on the ABNY site’s home page. And that one sentence made a WORLD of difference. Context is everything. Had I visited the ABNY site to find a simple statement about the site’s goals, it would have made all the difference. What kind of statement? Well, something like:

“On New Years Eve, kids around the world gathered to hear an Apostle of the Lord talk about the how a life centered on Christ is a life filled with meaning and joy. And this is our scrapbook … enjoy the night’s events again — or for the very first time! — using the links below.”
