new.lds.org Now Available!

new.lds.org is now available!

Some new features:

• Great new search (try out the facets!)


• Prophets and Apostles Speak Today


• Church News and Events


• Church Organization


• Temples


• Humanitarian Service


• "Our Heavenly Father's Plan"


• New e-store


• New Ward Calendar (with Google Calendar integration) and Ward Directory


• My Notebook (this is amazing and will sync with your mobile device in about a month or so). To try it out, login and go to scriptures or general conference. When you mouse-over a paragraph, you can tag and mark stuff and type in your own notes.


• And so on, and so on...

The team was up all night against harrowing opposition and went live at 5:00am or so. Conference, magazines and manuals go back to 2002 or so, but we'll be loading more content each day, eventually reaching back to the 1970's. We will have Spanish and German versions available before October conference.

We're finding and fixing bugs so please give us feedback.

Enjoy! (And spread the word...)

AT&T iOops

Up to 114,000 iPad users (including Michael Bloomberg and Diane Sawyer) unwittingly exposed their email addresses to the public through a security gaffe. Apple products have never been recognized as the CISO's products of choice, but this one looks to be primarily AT&T's goof. Read about it here.

AT&T responds.

Modern Socity: Get ready. The Sun is waking up.

Gospel Library for iPad

Gospel Library is now available for iPad. This version includes the ability to rotate the screen and also better readability than the iPhone version on the iPad.

Look for new features in both platforms in the future!

Church's Second iPhone App Available

[joel (10:50pm, 4/10): I mention a May beta release of lds.org, but these features actually come in the June release.]

We've just released our second iPhone app: Gospel Lbry. [joel: corrected.]

It's on the iPhone app store now. You can download and access the scriptures, hymns, various manuals, proclomations and so forth. It's got some pretty nifty features that some of the main scripture apps out there don't have. And it's free.

When the May beta.lds.org comes out, you'll be able to sync annotations with your online gospel study experience.

This, like our Mormon Channel app, was developed in cooperation with community developers. Thanks all!!

Download it and try it out. And rate it!! :)
