Internet: New LDS Businesses, Doctrinal Sites
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- This past week businesses seem to dominate the
new listings, with new websites from ldsnotes.com,
MyLDSMissionary.com, Eljay's LDS Temple Pendants, LDS Family Phone,
Riverview Guest House, Embroidery Express and ScriptureCovers.com.
And their differences highlight some of the difficulties of doing
business on the web, with most of these businesses either asking
surfers to phone in their orders or using some outside service to
handle online orders.
In addition, this week saw a couple of doctrinal sites, the J. E.
Neumann Institute and LDS GuideStar, and another discussion site, LDS
Voice.
