Vista Palooza!

Well Microsoft is doing it again. Releasing the “Next Big Thing”. The newest operating system is coming out tonight at midnight. Vista will be released to the multitudes, with it’s updated Word, Excel, and of course PowerPoint. Before you go running off and camping overnight at the local Wal-Mart, let’s look at how Vista is going to help your local church. After all, that’s what ChurchFuse is here for, you know (Fuse Your Methods to Reach Your World), that whole thing.

Vista will come with a nice little price tag of between $100 to $400, depending on what version you’re upgrading from. One new little thing is being able to download the system from the internet. That’s a first. And I’m sure there’s more…right…more things to know about Vista…right? Not really. Not yet anyway. Beyond all that, there’s probably not a lot of reason to upgrade right now. Microsoft will probably need to get rid of the usual ‘first edition bugs’ anyway. It’ll be interesting to see what Scoble has to say about it in the coming days. Here’s FoxNews.com’s story about it. So, not a alot of reason to get excited about Vista, yet. Maybe in a few months though, after the inital release.

So sleep on my readers. Sleep in your own beds tonight, and don’t make your wives angry by pulling out the tents and sleeping bags. Buy Vista later. That’s my take on it.

Until next time.

EXTREME MAKEOVER – BLOG EDITION

As some of you may have noticed, the Realtor Blog just had an extreme makeover this past week, as well as IowasRealtor.com. A couple different reasons for that, some more important than others. IR.com was converted to AdamForney.com and blog.iowasrealtor.com converted to AdamForney.net. With all the changing that was going on, I had to make a decision about the blog as well as the website because the blog had been linked.

With all the different issues being brought to my attention, I decided the blog needed a makeover and different focus completely. From here on, you will still see some real estate blogging going on, but the main focus has been shifted to something a little more eternal, the church. Most know of my past with ministry being a youth pastor and such. Eventually I have to realize that it is a part of me that cannot and will not escape. You pastors out there know what I’m talking about.

Most of you know of Thrive Web Group and it’s new partner site, ThrivingDomains.com. Now everything has been brought under one roof with the label of ChurchForward. It’s a way to centralize everything and have future divisions of the company know how it fits into the whole. TWG and TD.com aren’t changing, you still get the quality service from both that you have in the past.

ChurchForward will be able to take all the services we offer in our web suite (i.e. web design, domains, blogs, consultation, etc.) to the next level as we continue to prepare the church for the newest technology that comes out and how we can reach the world through it!
