Catholic Perspective: The New Frontier

Friday, July 11, 2008

New Content! Well, not yet. I am trying to add some spice to this blog. In the next month, I plan to add some new features that many other catholic blogs do not implement today. As you have already noticed I have been podcasting; the next step would be networking through social networks.

One feature that I plan to release in the next six months to a year is a bible study application through facebook and google (I don’t discriminate). It will start out simple. By simple, I mean the widget will only search through the entire New American Standard Bible. After I get that far I plan to release a means to annotate collaboratively. I hope with suggestions and a lot of hard work I can make this a reality.

Another feature I was thinking was to add a pay-pal account that would be tax deductible. If you remember a couple posts ago I spoke about Carl Anderson’s book “A Civilization of Love”. I went into a little rant about charity, if I can recall. I am a person of action, but feel that I can not be the alone in this. so I figure that I can get my readers to donate. Since this is America and not some totalitarian blog I would have a vote of the top ten charities I am familiar with and give 90%-95% of that money to the charity while leaving a little for funding this blog.

Finally I was thinking to have catholic professionals to post their thoughts not just my own. I would try to get a lawyer, doctor, and priest post something once a month. Like having a guest star on the blog once and a while. Now this is only the beginning of my ideas, but I would like some more suggestions.I need your suggestions to make this site go the next level. Please leave a comment of any ideas you can think about and we can take The Catholic Perspective to the new frontier.
