The GodBlogCon is being held in Vegas... the sin city. The location gave me a little chuckle.
Some of the speakers there look interesting. Some of the others look 'so 5 years ago'. I think this will be a good conference but I think it's lacking one of the largest topics. How do we engage in community on the net? And, how does the virtual community relate to the physical one?

Here's some good examples of ways the church is using internet technology.
Any others you've seen that you'd like to highlight?
GodBlogCon ( http://www.godblogcon.com/ )
- Conference specifically for 'Helping Christians Engage the New Media'
DesiringGodMinistries ( http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/ )
- they have a MASSIVE amount of resources - but the part I find interesting is the many ways they have of packaging these resources for online consumption:
- weekly sermons
- daily sermons
- radio broadcast
- index by topic, author, language, title
- study guides
- interviews
- reference desk
- 4 podcasts
- 3 videocasts
- 2 YouTube channels
- 4 RSS Feeds
- Email subscription
World Magazine - Web Version ( http://www.worldontheweb.com/ )
- print magazine that has create a completely separate online version - with many more articles - and integrated with it's blog.
- I have not seen too many print magazines create a complete online edition + community like this
