Qeep, Germany's most popular mobile social network, is in the midst of a successful international expansion. Since the launch of qeep's international version, qeep has reached over 100,000 users, with between 1,500 and 2,000 new users registering daily.

TiddlyWiki for iPhone

I'm playing around with TiddlyWiki for iPhone, a free web application that lets you construct an iPhone-optimized website that TiddlyWiki will even host for free.

If you have a website, you can download the whole TiddlyWiki software to put on the server so that it operates on your own domain name.

But that's not necessary if you don't mind having an address such as "http://itw.bidix.info/YourTitle". Heck, you could even use Snipr to make that an even shorter address, "http://snipr.com/YourTitle".

The whole idea of TiddlyWiki is that you're supposed to be able to construct a whole site right from your mobile phone's browser. Amazing. But it works.

IE Day's Mobile Outreach Site

The most complete write-up on mobile outreach anywhere that I know of is the mobile outreach section of the Internet Evangelism Day website. Take a while and browse through his explanation of various facets of mobile outreach.

Tony Whittaker, the guy behind the IE Day site, is a remarkable advocate for all things web and mobile evangelism and has provided an ongoing and growing resource.

Mobile Ministry Magazine & iPhone Bibles

This week I've had a wonderful discussion with Antoine, who runs Mobile Ministry Magazine . Check out his posts for a treasure trove of mobile ministry information.

I've especially appreciated his updated section on Bibles for your iPhone.

Way to go, Antoine!

Mobile Evangelism Wiki

For a starter, here's a link to my Mobile Evangelism Wiki, where I have attempted to categorize a large number of approaches Christians are using to harness the mobile phone platform for ministry. I'm amazed at the variety and creativity people are using.

It doesn't matter to me that some are for-profit and others non-profit - that is, whether they charge you to use the site or tool. Often this simply reflects people's funding model. Or it might reflect the view (pretty well documented) that people value a service or tool more if they pay some amount for it.

At this point I've identified about 17 different approaches to the use of the mobile for ministry.
