I wrote previously about Tim O’Reilly’s vision of “harnessing collective intelligence” and stated that it may not always be ideal. Presumably, the more that people connect with each other and collaborate on the Internet, the better off we are. There are a few new web sites where you can vote for or against [...]

Mi ricordo che molti anni fa quando vivevo in Italia (e lo stesso succedeva quando vivevo in Brasile) i membri della Chiesa aiutavano i missionari scrivendo le loro testimonianze in copie del libro di Mormon che poi davano ai loro amici e ad altre persone che erano interessate alla Chiesa Mormone.

In this current “age of participation,” we (you and I) are forging the Web. Anyone can write a blog, create a video, post a photo, ask or answer a question, or vote on a story. What you contribute (and even what you consume — web sites are getting better at noticing what we [...]

Years ago, several wards I lived in back in Ohio and Indiana used to help the missionaries by writing their testimonies in the front of a Book of Mormon, and then either giving the book to a friend or giving it to the missionaries so that they could give it to an investigator. The idea [...]

Videos podem ser uma maneira muito boa de compartilhar bom conteúdo sobre a Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos Últimos Dias (Igreja Mórmon) na internet.
Muitas pessoas podem pensar que videos precisam ser muito bem feitos e requerem muito tempo para ser produzidos para ser eficaces, mas isto não é sempre verdade.
Dois exemplos de videos [...]
