I am currently watching the You Version Live demonstration (http://www.youversion.com/live).  Or I should say I am listening.  Sadly the demonstration video failed.  Which leads me to say that no matter how cool this might be, I don’t think I would ever put much trust in it if the big demonstration they heralded for days and really weeks fails.  Good try. Call me when it works.

Now, my annoyance aside, they have something that looks pretty cool.  It is a live, interactive experience using the iPhone app or mobile browser version of  You Version. YouVersion is an interactive Bible study platform.  I’ve never been a big fan since I only have Edge for my iPhone.  3GS is really needed for a decent experience.

The capabilities claim to be able to custom design an interface for you and your congregation to use together on an iPhone or mobile web browser.  They can see your outline, notes, verses, interactive polls, and question/answer area.  Also they will even let you use PayPal to give electronically and Twitter to share whatever you want with the cloud.

To set things up you can use a “drag and drop” interface to work it out.  And they say it will be useful for weekend worship, conferences, and other study events where more than one person wants to interact with others using their service.  I hope it works much better than the demo, which totally failed as I was typing this.  Fortunately they posted the slides that were not seen in the demo on Slideshare.

Good luck, YouVersion.  Hope it works!
