Yesterday the mega blog GigaOM sported an article featuring one of my favorite apps of all time: YouVersion!
After more than two years worth of apps for the iPhone, not to mention other handsets like the Android, there are very few applications that come as a complete surprise.
But one app I looked at recently definitely fell into that category — if only because it has been installed close to 10 million times, and has millions of regular and devoted users, but hardly anyone in the tech press ever writes about it.
I suppose that the 8BIT Network isn’t considered “tech press” (or big enough for anyone else to care). It is what it is! But, I’m super-pumped that the app got some major press and continues to do so.
The writer continues:
It’s fascinating to see the traditional technology approach of a mainstream app used for something like YouVersion, and how quickly it seems to be taking off — not surprising, perhaps, given the viral effect that seeing another church-goer using the app would have.
And I think this is what really encourages me and reminds me why the Church has the potential of changing the world, even online: We are, by nature, culture, and history a “viral” people; ultimately we survive because of the Holy Spirit’s work in and among men which can’t be stopped, but we’ve been granted the amazing opportunity to partner with Him in this most-worthwhile endeavor.
Press on! There’s still much work to be done.
Speak your mind...
