One of the websites that I subscribe to a few RSS feeds from is ChurchLeaders.com. I was pleasantly surprised a few weeks ago to be asked by the site for permission for them to re-post some of my original content that I post here on stevansheets.com. Of course I gave them permission. I checked in just yesterday and was even MORE surprised to see that they had, in fact, begun publishing some of my blog posts (7 as of this date) there on ChurchLeaders.com and even gave me my very own “author page”, too!
This morning, Amazon launched “Amazon Cloud Drive” a brand-new storage solution for those of us who use multiple computers and devices. With the launch, Amazon is offering 5GB of FREE storage. 5GB is enough space to store about 1,000 songs or about 2,000 photos.
The benefit of storing in the “cloud” is that our files are ALWAYS available (so long as we have an Internet connection). This means that if we store a photo or a song via the Amazon Cloud, it can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection WITHOUT having to copy that file TO that actual computer. Amazon also updated their “Amazon MP3 App” for Android to allow us to stream any song in our storage cloud directly to any Android device, too! I can now access 5GB of songs on ANY Internet-connected computer and my cell phone! How cool is that?
With their newly launched “Cloud Drive”, Amazon is also offering a year of 20GB storage for FREE with the purchase of ANY album via their Amazon MP3 store. (There are “albums” that cost ONLY $.69, by the way)
One of the other benefits of “the cloud” via Amazon is that ANY MP3 purchased from Amazon will NOT count against our storage limit – we can purchase 50GB (or more!) of music through Amazon MP3 and still use ONLY the FREE “Cloud Drive” account of 5GB storage.
Sound confusing? Watch this video explaining Amazon’s Cloud Drive:
94.3 The Fortress first aired on October 1, 2007, as part of Indiana Wesleyan University’s Communications Program. WIWU-FM is managed by students working alongside with a faculty adviser. The station exists to give Indiana Wesleyan University students hands-on experience in the media field, but most of all to provide great Christian music and ministry to the Grant County community. Recently, the station launched a brand-new website: wiwu.fm which allows alumni like me to listen-in to the station from the comforts of my web-browser. You don’t need to be alumni to do the same. Check out wiwu.fm and listen today!
MinistryMatters.com – looks like there is yet another ministry resources website that is soon-to-launch.
Thousands of free resources for church leaders that will change the way you prepare for Sunday.
Judging from their promo video and basic shell of a website, I’ve already added this one to my favorites for future reference.
They’re telling us to text “MINISTRY” to 41411 to get in on the beta experience. I’m hoping this leads to pre-launch access of the site and I’ll post some updates if this is the case!
