I just read the Deseret News list of “Top LDS News Stories of 2010.” (I know, it’s old news, but this story is interesting nonetheless.)

# 7 on their list summarized how the Church used the Internet and new technology to reach a wider audience in 2010. They mentioned the following:

• The launch in January of a new website for LDS youth (youth.lds.org).
• Store.lds.org, a new church online shopping site, opened for business in September, replacing the old LDS Catalog.
• A new handbook for leaders was released and made accessible for members online. (If you haven’t read it, I encourage you to read the first few chapters that outline the purpose of the Church, the priesthood, and leadership, and their relationship to the family. You can find the handbook in the Serving in the Church section of LDS.org. Or click here.)
• Familysearch.org was improved.
• Church websites mormon.org and LDS.org were redesigned and launched.
• A new website called combatingpornography.org was created.
• Elder Quentin L. Cook became likely the first apostle to post a blog.
• Missionaries in Rochester, N.Y., started a pilot project online to do missionary work in cyberspace.

What do you think we’re doing well in and what could we do better?
