At Have you born your testimony on YouTube yet? Jane shares a concern about sharing the Gospel online:
I am ready to put a link to the church under “what I believe” on my About page, and to swear less (never, I think) online than I do in real life. I talk about our family reunions and about odd things that occur to me in church. I post videos of my seven-year old practicing her primary talks. But I’m not sure...

Customized for Salt Lake City metro area, US
Google can determine — by my IP address — that I am searching from a location near Salt Lake City and attempts to make the search results more relevant to my location.
When our friends of other faiths look for information about our faith, Google may present them with local...
Testimony Tag is an idea for sharing your beliefs on your blog and encouraging your friends to do the same. You may have seen these viral games of “tag” in which one blogger writes, for example, “5 things you didn’t know about me” and then “tags” others to do the same.

The Church Newsroom has a good article about members of the Church who are using YouTube and other websites to share the Gospel.
The article includes references to MormonHunnies, the three Mormon college students who’ve shared their beliefs on YouTube, and youth in Las Vegas who recorded their testimonies at Youth Conference.
“Speak on what you know,” Las Vegas youth leader West Allen says....
Youth of the Las Vegas Nevada Redrock Stake shared their beliefs on camera at a recent Youth Conference, answering Elder Ballard’s call to share the Gospel online. The production was beautiful, and I see several good things coming of this:
Youth can tell their friends about the video and link to it from Facebook or MySpace pages.

You might also share applications of Gospel...
