Session 8: Digital Religion and the Public Face of the Church
Speakers: Jana Riess, Kristine Haglund
The internet has transformed the way we access information and express ourselves. Without the constraints that have shackled traditional media in the past, it allows information to flow more freely and more rapidly than ever before. This has not been lost among religious institutions which are increasingly adding the web to their communication strategies. In fact, in 2007, M. Russell Ballard of the LDS Church's Council of the Twelve challenged Church members to "join the conversation by participating on the Internet to share the gospel and to explain in simple and clear terms the message of the Restoration." Church members have taken up that challenge with vigor, flooding the internet with positive messages about their religion. Likewise, the institutional Church has strategically worked to positively shape its online image. The Washington Post recently called attention to the Church's online media strategy calling it "savvy and aggressive." Clearly the internet offers benefits to the Church in proselytizing and public relations. But it also presents challenges. For an institution that values single-purpose messaging, the chaotic nature of the internet defies correlation. Furthermore, the balkanized nature of the blogosphere challenges traditional ideals of religious community, permitting numerous Mormon discourse communities. And the internet allows detractors of Mormonism the same access as it does proponents. In this conference, we will reflect on evolving concepts of Mormon identity and community in the digital age.

Welcome to the Bloggernacle Miller-Eccles Study Group March 24-25, 2006
,What is a blog?
,Blogology 101 “Blog” is a neologism formed from the words “web log.”
The word is both a verb and a noun; one who blogs is a blogger. A blog is a type of website on software that allows easy, text-based updating. Because of this, blogs tend to include a lot of entries (posts) and are often updated frequently. ,Blogology 101 ,Blogology 101 ,Blogology 101 How did the blogging phenomenon start?
The first blog dates to 1997. Since then, the number of blogs has exploded. Millions of bloggers now. Blogging software has improved greatly – easier and more interactive. Blogs differ from other electronic media such as message boards and listservs. ,Blogology 101 Are blogs a Mormon-only thing?
Heck no! People blog about a variety of subjects: Food
Their love lives Cats Blogs have been increasingly prominent in the political arena. And yes, people blog about religion. ,What about Mormon blogs?
,Bloggernacle 101 Ahh, now we get to the interesting part.
The bloggernacle. How was the bloggernacle started? It’s a relatively recent phenomenon: 11/2002: Appearance of anonymous group-blog, Metaphysical Elders, that discusses Mormon issues. 08/2003: Solo blogger “Dave” launches Dave’s Mormon Inquiry blog. ,Bloggernacle 101 11/2003: Times & Seasons is launched by Nate Oman, Matt Evans, Adam Greenwood, and me.
It is an onymous group blog that springs out of e-mail discussions on the LDS-law listserv. Following the launch of T&S, the bloggernacle starts to become a self-feeding phenomenon. ,Bloggernacle 101 T&S traffic stats:
11/18/2003: Blog begins; no audience. 11/30/2003: 65 visits a day. 12/5/2003: 140 visits a day. 2/2004: 400 visits a day. 6/2004: 900 visits a day. 12/2004: 1800 to 2000 visits a day. Since 12/2004, traffic has held steady at around 2000 visits a day. (Sometimes dipping to 1800; sometime rising to 2200 or 2400). ,Bloggernacle 101 Other large group blogs follow: By Common Consent in 3/2004; Feminist Mormon Housewives in 8/2004; Millennial Star in 1/2005
In March 2004 (in response to my own on-blog call for a name for the community) the term “bloggernacle” is coined. Appropriately enough, it comes out of blog comments on that post. In early 2005, we see the first major aggregation service, “Mormon Archipelago” at LDSBlogs.org Today: Depending on who’s counting, universe of Mormon blogs is between 40-50 up to 200+ ,Bloggernacle 101 And what are we all blogging about?
A number of different things: Questions about church doctrine or history Personal posts about (Mormon) life Interviews with scholars; book reviews Announcements and events. Navel-gazing A hundred different things; every blog different. Many blogs (particularly in the bloggernacle) allow readers to make comments as well. ,Bloggernacle 101 At one blog alone, Times and Seasons, there is nearly 10 megabytes of blog posts in a little over two years, and over 60 megabytes in comments.
What does that mean? Each megabyte, printed as straight text in a Word document, equals about 250 pages. That’s about 2500 pages of text in posts alone – and over 15,000 pages of comments. That’s over five times the size of the Encyclopedia Britannica. . . . . . and that’s just one blog! ,Bloggernacle 101 How many people read the bloggernacle?
It varies widely. (There are also some technical gaps in our ability to measure this accurately). The numbers that we have: Times and Seasons: 2000 to 2400 a day; By Common Consent: 1000 to 1200; FMH 1200 to 1600. Newer blogs and solo blogs draw less traffic. Popular solo-blog Splendid Sun: 300-500 a day. Recent entrant Blogger of Jared (3 months old) currently draws 60-100 visits per day. ,Bloggernacle 101 As noted above, commenter participation is a big part of the bloggernacle.

A 20-year-old Harvard junior from Idaho has captured the attention of Mormondom with the viral spread of a video (above) in which she explains her faith to journalist Sally Quinn. The bloggernacle, as Mormon wags call the extensive network of Mormon bloggers, is abuzz over Rachel Esplin's poised handling of a series of questions about whether she wears sacred undergarments, how she responds to allegations that Mormonism is a cult, how she views the role of women in her church, and what her relationship is with Jesus. "For more than 20 minutes, Rachel's delivery was as unstoppable as the incoming tide,'' gushed MormonTimes. "What is fascinating about this video is the aplomb with which Rachel answers the questions,'' writes Krista at Glass Half Full. "I feel very inadequate now!" blogged Chels of the McGees.

Welcome to this glorious week of awesomeness and truth!
The Supreme Court of the United States is finally going to weigh in on gay marriage. This is a big deal. There are three likely possible outcomes and a few key areas under consideration. We’ll help you make sense of it here.
John Dehlin has a hearing date regarding potential excommunication. The bloggernacle is up in arms. What does this mean to you? Is there a witch hunt on for Mormon liberals? Let us know your take, but make sure to listen in for our thoughts on it all. Admittedly, when comparing John Dehlin and Kate Kelly, it’s shocking that action came swiftly and decisively toward the latter and not the former.
Hey! Marriages to so-perceived gay men end in divorce. Funny how that works.
The Church wins its lawsuit against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a Canadian polygamist offshoot that can now no longer be known by its name because the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints doesn’t want there to be confusion between the two. LDS Salt Lake beats LDS British Columbia.
What defines true modesty? It’s not what you’d think. Some great principles here.
The BYU student who was arrested for having a meth lab in his bedroom, but claimed he was just making soap, has now pled guilty, asserting that he was making both soap and meth. Meth soap!
Other stuff: a cool missionary workout video, dedication dates for the Indianapolis Indiana and Trujillo Peru Temples; a Southern California church building gets vandalized; the Gateway shopping center in Salt Lake City is falling apart.
Also, more talk on R-rated movies!

,What is a Social Media Check-up? Social media is an influential marketing and communications tool that is generally accepted as a credible source of information for varied corporate and brand stakeholders.
While many positive potential outcomes are possible, there are an equal number of challenges that companies must navigate in participating in social media. To help companies navigate the social media landscape, Burson-Marsteller has developed an Evidence-Based Communications tool called the “Social Media Check-up” which analyzes and measures at how a company’s social media presence is impacting their overall online health and reputation. The Social Media Check-up assesses a company’s (and their competitors’) participation across the most popular social media platform and guides strategies and tactics for companies to engage in social media and contribute to their communities of interest, both for internal and external communications. ,Objectives of the Social Media Check-up Benchmark existing social media assets against:

It has "locations" in "domains" We "develop" with the help of "architects", "designers" and "builders". Like homes and office buildings, our sites have "visitors" Unless, of course, they are "under construction". ,World LIVE Web One layer down, we see the Net in terms of shipping.
"Transport" protocols govern the "routing" of "packets" between end points where unpacked data resides in "storage".
Back when we still spoke of the Net as an "information highway", we used "information" to label the goods we stored on our hard drives and Web sites. Today "information" has become passé. Instead we call it "content". Publishers, broadcasters and educators are now all in the business of "delivering content". Many Web sites are now organized by "content management systems". The content is material that can be made, shaped, bought, sold, shipped, stored and combined with other material. "Content" is less human than "information" and less technical than "data", and more handy than either. ,World LIVE Web Blogs still look like Web sites and content to the static search engines, but to see blogs in static terms is to miss something fundamentally different about them: they are alive.
Their live nature, and their humanity, defines the live Web. Blogging predated syndication, but it was syndication that began to give form to the live Web. ,World LIVE Web The most popular live Web search engines are (with around 80-million page views per day):
Technorati and Alexa focuses on rapid indexing, tag search and hot topics.
What they search is alive, moving, changing. Its results are also radically different from what you get from the static Web. The others include: Blogpulse stresses trending and ranking.
PubSub doesn't offer Web search but instead concentrates on keyword search feeds to users' aggregators. Bloglines integrates search with aggregation and other services. IceRocket emphasizes performance and simplicity. Feedster leads with personalization and index size. ,Blogs Blogs are Journals -not sites Writing isConversational New Form of Journalism Blogging is a new form of journalism that gives individuals a higher degree of leverage than ever before. They are written, not built. And the best ones change daily or faster. Many people wrongly assume that a blog is like a forum, or thread.

The Mormon blogosphere (in some contexts referred to as the bloggernacle or Bloggernacle Choir) is the Mormon portion of the blogosphere. The latter two terms were coined by individuals within members of LDS blogging community as a play on the name of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir; however, not all LDS-themed bloggers like or use the name Bloggernacle, or even consider their blog to be part of it.
It was on November 23, 2002, that the Mormon blogging community became a distinct entity with the founding of the blog Metaphysical Elders. Some component blogs from the Mormon blogosphere's first two years were short lived, however one of its first bloggers, Dave Banack, began his longstanding Mormon Inquiry blog on August 19, 2003. On January 1, 2003, a mutli-author blog Mormon Momma launched — a spin off from the original Circle of Sisters column from Meridian Magazine. By the next two years, the multi-author blogs Times and Seasons, Approaching Zion, By Common Consent, Feminist Mormon Housewives, Millennial Star, Ministering Angels, Mormon Mommy Wars, Latter Day Liberation Front, LDS Science Review, and Mormon Metaphysics had been launched. (Several of these blogs currently do not exist and a great number more have joined the community's ranks.) On March 23, 2004, due to an article in The Revealer, the writer Kaimi Wenger at the LDS blog Times and Seasons noticed that the Jewish and Catholic blogging communities had adopted names for themselves. In a blog post titled "The Nameless Mormon Blogosphere", Wenger sought to remedy this situation and asked for suggestions for a name. Christopher Bradford posting under the name "Grasshopper" suggested "Bloggernacle Choir", the shortened version of which gained wide approval. "Bloggernacle" is a term that has been used commonly by LDS bloggers.

Willard Mitt Romney (born March 12, 1947) is an American businessman and the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party for President of the United States in the 2012 election. He was the 70th Governor of Massachusetts (2003–07).
The son of Lenore and George W. Romney (Governor of Michigan, 1963–69), he was raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. In 1966, after one year at Stanford University, he left the United States to spend thirty months in France as a Mormon missionary. In 1969, he married Ann Davies, and the couple had five children together. In 1971, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Brigham Young University and, in 1975, a joint Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration from Harvard University as a Baker Scholar. He entered the management consulting industry, which in 1977, led to a position at Bain & Company. Later serving as Chief Executive Officer, he helped bring the company out of financial crisis. In 1984, he co-founded the spin-off Bain Capital, a private equity investment firm that became highly profitable and one of the largest such firms in the nation. His net worth is estimated at $190–250 million, wealth that has helped fund his political campaigns. Active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he served as Ward Bishop and later Stake President in his area near Boston. He ran as the Republican candidate in the 1994 U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts, losing to long-time incumbent Ted Kennedy. In 1999, he was hired as President and CEO of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics and Paralympics; and he helped turn the fiscally troubled games into a success.

Other stuff: a cool missionary workout video, dedication dates for the Indianapolis Indiana and Trujillo Peru Temples; a Southern California church building gets vandalized; the Gateway shopping center in Salt Lake City is falling apart. Also, more talk on R-rated movies! -

Social media is an influential marketing and communications tool that is generally accepted as a credible source of information for varied corporate and brand stakeholders. While many positive potential outcomes are possible, there are an equal number of challenges that companies must navigate in participating in social media. To help companies navigate the social media landscape, Burson-Marsteller has developed an Evidence-Based Communications tool called the “Social Media Check-up” which analyzes and measures at how a company’s social media presence is impacting their overall online health and reputation. The Social Media Check-up assesses a company’s (and their competitors’) participation across the most popular social media platform and guides strategies and tactics for companies to engage in social media and contribute to their communities of interest, both for internal and external communications. ,Objectives of the Social Media Check-up Benchmark existing social media assets against: competitive & peer best practices competitive & peer short-comings existing audience online behavior Explore relevance of each social media channel as per the business situation and communications objectives Determine online health and reputation of the organization Identify opportunities to utilize social media to meet business and communications objectives ,Data Insights Ideas Discover Synthesize Explore Record Our Process for Conducting a Social Media Check-up C Social MediaCheck-up Results/ Recommendations ,Areas Accessed in the Social Media Check-up Have you protected appropriate profile pages?

Are you missing out on ways to promote your organization or business effectively just because you’re not familiar with the latest technological trends? Blogs Wikis Podcasts RSS feeds XML FRBR Open Source VoIP Folksonomy MySpace ,World LIVE Web In order to understand the World ‘Live’ Web, it’s important to understand the “static” Web. It has "sites" with "addresses" It has "locations" in "domains" We "develop" with the help of "architects", "designers" and "builders". Like homes and office buildings, our sites have "visitors" Unless, of course, they are "under construction". ,World LIVE Web One layer down, we see the Net in terms of shipping. "Transport" protocols govern the "routing" of "packets" between end points where unpacked data resides in "storage". Back when we still spoke of the Net as an "information highway", we used "information" to label the goods we stored on our hard drives and Web sites. Today "information" has become passé. Instead we call it "content". Publishers, broadcasters and educators are now all in the business of "delivering content". Many Web sites are now organized by "content management systems". The content is material that can be made, shaped, bought, sold, shipped, stored and combined with other material. "Content" is less human than "information" and less technical than "data", and more handy than either. ,World LIVE Web Blogs still look like Web sites and content to the static search engines, but to see blogs in static terms is to miss something fundamentally different about them: they are alive. Their live nature, and their humanity, defines the live Web. Blogging predated syndication, but it was syndication that began to give form to the live Web. ,World LIVE Web The most popular live Web search engines are (with around 80-million page views per day): Technorati and Alexa focuses on rapid indexing, tag search and hot topics. What they search is alive, moving, changing. Its results are also radically different from what you get from the static Web. The others include: Blogpulse stresses trending and ranking. PubSub doesn't offer Web search but instead concentrates on keyword search feeds to users' aggregators. Bloglines integrates search with aggregation and other services. IceRocket emphasizes performance and simplicity. Feedster leads with personalization and index size. ,Blogs Blogs are Journals -not sites Writing isConversational New Form of Journalism Blogging is a new form of journalism that gives individuals a higher degree of leverage than ever before. They are written, not built. And the best ones change daily or faster. Many people wrongly assume that a blog is like a forum, or thread. This means that its authors are speaking, and not just "creating content". A blog speaks to readers and other bloggers who speak back, through e-mails, comments or on blogs of the -

UVU: Mormonism and the Internet Session 8 From Blogosphere to Bloggernacle
Session 8: Digital Religion and the Public Face of the Church Speakers: Jana Riess, Kristine Haglund The internet has transformed the way we access information and express ourselves. Without the constraints that have shackled traditional media in the past, it allows information to flow more freely and more rapidly than ever before. This has not been lost among religious institutions which are increasingly adding the web to their communication strategies. In fact, in 2007, M. Russell Ballard of the LDS Church's Council of the Twelve challenged Church members to "join the conversation by participating on the Internet to share the gospel and to explain in simple and clear terms the message of the Restoration." Church members have taken up that challenge with vigor, flooding the internet with... -

Rachel Esplin on Mormonism - Harvard Hillel
A 20-year-old Harvard junior from Idaho has captured the attention of Mormondom with the viral spread of a video (above) in which she explains her faith to journalist Sally Quinn. The bloggernacle, as Mormon wags call the extensive network of Mormon bloggers, is abuzz over Rachel Esplin's poised handling of a series of questions about whether she wears sacred undergarments, how she responds to allegations that Mormonism is a cult, how she views the role of women in her church, and what her relationship is with Jesus. "For more than 20 minutes, Rachel's delivery was as unstoppable as the incoming tide,'' gushed MormonTimes. "What is fascinating about this video is the aplomb with which Rachel answers the questions,'' writes Krista at Glass Half Full. "I feel very inadequate now!" blogged Ch... -
Episode #259 – I Swear I Was Just Making Soap
Welcome to this glorious week of awesomeness and truth! The Supreme Court of the United States is finally going to weigh in on gay marriage. This is a big deal. There are three likely possible outcomes and a few key areas under consideration. We’ll help you make sense of it here. John Dehlin has a hearing date regarding potential excommunication. The bloggernacle is up in arms. What does this mean to you? Is there a witch hunt on for Mormon liberals? Let us know your take, but make sure to listen in for our thoughts on it all. Admittedly, when comparing John Dehlin and Kate Kelly, it’s shocking that action came swiftly and decisively toward the latter and not the former. Hey! Marriages to so-perceived gay men end in divorce. Funny how that works. The Church wins its lawsuit against The... -

This has not been lost among religious institutions which are increasingly adding the web to their communication strategies. In fact, in 2007, M.

Church members have taken up that challenge with vigor, flooding the internet with positive messages about their religion. Likewise, the institutional Church has strategically worked to positively shape its online image. The Washington Post recently called attention to the Church's online media strategy calling it "savvy and aggressive." Clearly the internet offers benefits to the Church in proselytizing and public relations. But it also presents challenges. For an institution that values single-purpose messaging, the chaotic nature of the internet defies correlation. Furthermore, the balkanized nature of the blogosphere challenges traditional ideals of religious community, permitting numerous Mormon discourse communities. And the internet allows detractors of Mormonism the same access as it does proponents. In this conference, we will reflect on evolving concepts of Mormon identity and community in the digital age.

,What is a blog?
,Blogology 101 “Blog” is a neologism formed from the words “web log.”
The word is both a verb and a noun; one who blogs is a blogger. A blog is a type of website on software that allows easy, text-based updating. Because of this, blogs tend to include a lot of entries (posts) and are often updated frequently. ,Blogology 101 ,Blogology 101 ,Blogology 101 How did the blogging phenomenon start?
The first blog dates to 1997. Since then, the number of blogs has exploded. Millions of bloggers now. Blogging software has improved greatly – easier and more interactive. Blogs differ from other electronic media such as message boards and listservs. ,Blogology 101 Are blogs a Mormon-only thing?
Heck no! People blog about a variety of subjects: Food
Their love lives Cats Blogs have been increasingly prominent in the political arena. And yes, people blog about religion. ,What about Mormon blogs?
,Bloggernacle 101 Ahh, now we get to the interesting part.
The bloggernacle. How was the bloggernacle started? It’s a relatively recent phenomenon: 11/2002: Appearance of anonymous group-blog, Metaphysical Elders, that discusses Mormon issues. 08/2003: Solo blogger “Dave” launches Dave’s Mormon Inquiry blog. ,Bloggernacle 101 11/2003: Times & Seasons is launched by Nate Oman, Matt Evans, Adam Greenwood, and me.
It is an onymous group blog that springs out of e-mail discussions on the LDS-law listserv. Following the launch of T&S, the bloggernacle starts to become a self-feeding phenomenon. ,Bloggernacle 101 T&S traffic stats:
11/18/2003: Blog begins; no audience. 11/30/2003: 65 visits a day. 12/5/2003: 140 visits a day. 2/2004: 400 visits a day. 6/2004: 900 visits a day. 12/2004: 1800 to 2000 visits a day. Since 12/2004, traffic has held steady at around 2000 visits a day. (Sometimes dipping to 1800; sometime rising to 2200 or 2400). ,Bloggernacle 101 Other large group blogs follow: By Common Consent in 3/2004; Feminist Mormon Housewives in 8/2004; Millennial Star in 1/2005
In March 2004 (in response to my own on-blog call for a name for the community) the term “bloggernacle” is coined. Appropriately enough, it comes out of blog comments on that post. In early 2005, we see the first major aggregation service, “Mormon Archipelago” at LDSBlogs.org Today: Depending on who’s counting, universe of Mormon blogs is between 40-50 up to 200+ ,Bloggernacle 101 And what are we all blogging about?
A number of different things: Questions about church doctrine or history Personal posts about (Mormon) life Interviews with scholars; book reviews Announcements and events. Navel-gazing A hundred different things; every blog different. Many blogs (particularly in the bloggernacle) allow readers to make comments as well. ,Bloggernacle 101 At one blog alone, Times and Seasons, there is nearly 10 megabytes of blog posts in a little over two years, and over 60 megabytes in comments.
What does that mean? Each megabyte, printed as straight text in a Word document, equals about 250 pages. That’s about 2500 pages of text in posts alone – and over 15,000 pages of comments. That’s over five times the size of the Encyclopedia Britannica. . . . . . and that’s just one blog! ,Bloggernacle 101 How many people read the bloggernacle?
It varies widely. (There are also some technical gaps in our ability to measure this accurately). The numbers that we have: Times and Seasons: 2000 to 2400 a day; By Common Consent: 1000 to 1200; FMH 1200 to 1600. Newer blogs and solo blogs draw less traffic. Popular solo-blog Splendid Sun: 300-500 a day. Recent entrant Blogger of Jared (3 months old) currently draws 60-100 visits per day. ,Bloggernacle 101 As noted above, commenter participation is a big part of the bloggernacle.
How many people comment on the blogs? Some numbers from Times and Seasons: All who

Many blogs (particularly in the bloggernacle) allow readers to make comments as well. ,Bloggernacle 101 At one blog alone, Times and Seasons, there is nearly 10 megabytes of blog posts in a little over two years, and over 60 megabytes in comments.
What does that mean? Each megabyte, printed as straight text in a Word document, equals about 250 pages. That’s about 2500 pages of text in posts alone – and over 15,000 pages of comments. That’s over five times the size of the Encyclopedia Britannica. . . . . . and that’s just one blog! ,Bloggernacle 101 How many people read the bloggernacle?
It varies widely. (There are also some technical gaps in our ability to measure this accurately). The numbers that we have: Times and Seasons: 2000 to 2400 a day; By Common Consent: 1000 to 1200; FMH 1200 to 1600. Newer blogs and solo blogs draw less traffic. Popular solo-blog Splendid Sun: 300-500 a day. Recent entrant Blogger of Jared (3 months old) currently draws 60-100 visits per day. ,Bloggernacle 101 As noted above, commenter participation is a big part of the bloggernacle.
How many people comment on the blogs? Some numbers from Times and Seasons: All who

A 20-year-old Harvard junior from Idaho has captured the attention of Mormondom with the viral spread of a video (above) in which she explains her faith to journalist Sally Quinn. The bloggernacle, as Mormon wags call the extensive network of Mormon bloggers, is abuzz over Rachel Esplin's poised handling of a series of questions about whether she wears sacred undergarments, how she responds to allegations that Mormonism is a cult, how she views the role of women in her church, and what her relationship is with Jesus. "For more than 20 minutes, Rachel's delivery was as unstoppable as the incoming tide,'' gushed MormonTimes. "What is fascinating about this video is the aplomb with which Rachel answers the questions,'' writes Krista at Glass Half Full. "I feel very inadequate now!" blogged Chels of the McGees. And Mark Towner, who blogs as The Captains Spyglass, called the video, "Something every Latter Day Saint Member needs to watch and contemplate."

Welcome to this glorious week of awesomeness and truth!
The Supreme Court of the United States is finally going to weigh in on gay marriage. This is a big deal. There are three likely possible outcomes and a few key areas under consideration. We’ll help you make sense of it here.
John Dehlin has a hearing date regarding potential excommunication. The bloggernacle is up in arms. What does this mean to you? Is there a witch hunt on for Mormon liberals? Let us know your take, but make sure to listen in for our thoughts on it all. Admittedly, when comparing John Dehlin and Kate Kelly, it’s shocking that action came swiftly and decisively toward the latter and not the former.
Hey! Marriages to so-perceived gay men end in divorce. Funny how that works.
The Church wins its lawsuit against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a Canadian polygamist offshoot that can now no longer be known by its name because the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints doesn’t want there to be confusion between the two. LDS Salt Lake beats LDS British Columbia.
What defines true modesty? It’s not what you’d think. Some great principles here.
The BYU student who was arrested for having a meth lab in his bedroom, but claimed he was just making soap, has now pled guilty, asserting that he was making both soap and meth. Meth soap!
Other stuff: a cool missionary workout video, dedication dates for the Indianapolis Indiana and Trujillo Peru Temples; a Southern California church building gets vandalized; the Gateway shopping center in Salt Lake City is falling apart.
Also, more talk on R-rated movies!

While many positive potential outcomes are possible, there are an equal number of challenges that companies must navigate in participating in social media. To help companies navigate the social media landscape, Burson-Marsteller has developed an Evidence-Based Communications tool called the “Social Media Check-up” which analyzes and measures at how a company’s social media presence is impacting their overall online health and reputation. The Social Media Check-up assesses a company’s (and their competitors’) participation across the most popular social media platform and guides strategies and tactics for companies to engage in social media and contribute to their communities of interest, both for internal and external communications. ,Objectives of the Social Media Check-up Benchmark existing social media assets against:

Back when we still spoke of the Net as an "information highway", we used "information" to label the goods we stored on our hard drives and Web sites. Today "information" has become passé. Instead we call it "content". Publishers, broadcasters and educators are now all in the business of "delivering content". Many Web sites are now organized by "content management systems".
