Please note that the LDS Online social network was discontinued on May 10, 2010, after growing to over 800 members. We invite you to participate at MormonHub.com.

I have launched a social network called LDS Online at LDSonline.ning.com. (Ning is an online service that lets you create, customize, and share your own social network easily and for free.)

LDS Online is intended to be a community of Latter-day Saints where they can share ideas and collaborate on how to best provide accurate and positive information about the Church on blogs and Web sites. It is intended to be a resource for people who want to respond to Elder M. Russell Ballard’s challenge to participate in a gospel discussion online.

It is not intended to compete with either of these two great sites, but to be complimentary to them:

• LDS.net is the premier LDS site for blogging, chatting, sharing testimonies, and participating in groups and forums. LDS Online is the place to help you learn how to do these activities, and also to provide some resources to get you started. It also lets you collaborate with others in forums and discussion threads so you can learn to do these activities more effectively.
• The More Good Foundation Web site is a great resource with ideas to help you share testimony online. LDS Online has a similar purpose, but provides forums, groups, and discussion threads you can use to share ideas and collaborate with others so you can learn to participate online more effectively.

I invite you to participate with us at ldstoolbar.com.

LDS Online is not owned by or affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
