Terry Biggs and I did a 20-minute talk radio spot on WORD 101.5FM Pittsburgh today. We got a good chance to talk about the value of having lots of materials at hand, why we write software and give it away, and the problem of getting non-technical people to take the plunge into computer-based Bible study.
My woman tells me that our interview came across very well, and was in fact quite funny at times. Even the front desk secretary told us how much she liked it. The hosts were very impressed to see GnomeSword on my laptop, mentioning specifically cleanliness and lack of clutter, such as one finds on web-based Bible sites. I would have liked the chance to talk about such possibilities as getting the Bible into restricted countries where they currently have to be smuggled, but there wasn't time. Also I would have mentioned other players in the game (e-Sword, NET Bible giveaways, Libronix, Accordance), but again the time constraint was tight -- I even had them all running on my laptop, ready to bring up for demo, but getting that far in 20 minutes was just a dream. But best of all, a link to crosswire.org is now on the page for the afternoon show on which we appeared, and one of the hosts specifically said that such a link would go _permanently_ on their front page. I guess we did something right. Poke at http://www.wordfm.com/ and see the "John & Stephanie Show" image in the middle. Someone with access to Crosswire's httpd logs should watch for wordfm.com referers. --karl _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
