If you fancy giving it a go I'd love to hear your feedback - it's constantly being worked on so it's very possible that any suggestions will make it into the next revision! Hi,

I'd like to add my new mobile plugin for wordpress to the list: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wapple-archit...

I've added loads of functionality (more than any other mobile plugin) and it gives you a mobile blog that not only looks amazing, but retains your URL structure and preserves SEO links.

If you fancy giving it a go I'd love to hear your feedback – it's constantly being worked on so it's very possible that any suggestions will make it into the next revision!

For example all this networking and connections started with us the consumers first and are now making it into the enterprise ... we now have enterprise messaging platforms and even enterprise communities like Lotus Connections (and others) - The church (please note the small 'c') or ministries in general have not leveraged web 2.0 as well as they could/should and have utilized (to my limited knowledge) mobile technology even less. So now to answer your question: there is enormous room for the church to innovate and to leverage mobile technology to win souls for Christ. There is a gentleman by the name of Russ McGuire who coined McGuire's law: "The law states that the value of any product or service increases with its mobility, where the value of mobility is realized as availability and contextual relevance." What is the service we are offering? The life-changing, thought-provoking Word of God! Yaaay! When we are mobile we still need encouragement... we still hurt... we still need the word of God... we still need community... we are still part of the body of believers - the Church... with a big 'C'... Two points to further the discussion (potential article coming?): - What mobile tools and resources can we provide Christians so they (we) may live a more Christ-like life? - What mobile tools and resources can we utilize/leverage to preach the Gospel? (The only thing I don't like about the "Intense Debate" plugin is that my link doesn't show back to whatever site I input... so as an FYI the Mobile Strategy Blog referenced in my other comment is one blog but my personal blog is Four Winds Stirring at <a href="http://jose.cr%20" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://jose.cr" rel="nofollow">http://jose.cr </a></a>).

I have done a lot of thinking in the past on mobile strategy for the enterprise and just launched a new blog on the topic - <a href="http://m-strat.org%29%20" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://m-strat.org" rel="nofollow">http://m-strat.org </a></a>As it relates to the church there is a lot that can be leveraged from mobility. Typically (or at least in a web 2.0 world) trends start with consumers and then move to the enterprise... however if we speak of mobile technology the church could probably learn a lot from the enterprise (which is still VERY far away from where it can and should be). Ministries need to go mobile... because people are mobile.
