Dear Friends of the More Good Foundation,
We’re creating a new section on Christ.org–one of our More Good Foundation websites–that will...
A new analytics program called Woopra allows website operators to not only see who is visiting their website in realtime but to initiate a conversation with them. This has interesting implications for online missionary work since it means that investigators could be offered help as they search online.
Here is a 3-minute video demonstrating Woopra on MormonWiki.com:
This strikes me as the online equivalent of the...

But his email already had wings — it was being forwarded to hundreds of people, and in some cases even modified from his original text.
I emailed him,...
Here are a few more good LDS websites we haven’t mentioned previously:
1. WardSocial.com and Came2Pass.com — These two sites allow you to submit and vote on stories related to the Church. Like their predecessor Sustaind.org, these sites operate like Digg.com.
