Open, YouVersion, Digerati and more
I’ve got quick updates and news on several things:
- YouVersion beta was recently updated with additional translations (The Message and the Reina-Valera Antigua [spanish]) and hundreds of bug fixes. You can read more about the release or visit YouVersion.com to see it yourself.
- LifeChurch.tv/open (now http://open.lifechurch.tv) has been completely redone. I am waiting for a few more details to get completed, and then I will post a comprehensive list of the new features and content that are a part of the new site. If you have not visited Open recently, please do so…we’d love to hear your thoughts.
- If you know someone that would like to be a part of the team (Digerati) that is building YouVersion, Open, the Internet Campus and many other cool projects, we are looking for web developers (read more).
- Anne Jackson (you might know her from her blog, book project, OR frequent comments here on swerve) will be coming to work at LifeChurch.tv (but not until January). Anne will be applying her many talents to help me get things done and execute the many projects and initiatives we will have in coming years.
- And lastly…I have failed to put a post up for the swerve lab for the last few weeks…sorry. I will post one next week. If you have question or issue that you would like the rest of the readers of this blog to help answer or give you feedback, please send it to swerve@lifechurch.tv. You can read more details about the process here, and/or you can see the entire archive of past swerve lab posts.

the new look of Open is great.
I’m sure my commenting will be less frequent once Bobby lays down the law in January… :)
Thanks Jason…I agree the team did a great job on the look.
Anne, I’m sure you’ll find the time :)
You guys just tear things up, the minute we come with an idea that would be so cool and useful, you guys roll it out the next week. Thanks so much for the resourcing, I’m especially excited about the possibilities in YouVersion…

Love the new look of Open, it’s great to see content up there so quickly. Speaking as a graphic designer that deals primarily in print, it would be nice when previewing the print pieces to see the dimensions in inches rather than pixels. It would probably help your pastors that aren’t design oriented visualize the scale of the piece a lot easier.
I’m digging YouVersion.
Well, not literally digging, as I don’t have a Digg account, but rather I’m loving what I’m seeing. I can’t wait to see the features fleshed out and implemented.
