FaithWorld Church to Deploy Gen2Media's Online Video Platform
Gen2Media announced that FaithWorld, a megachurch, has chosen the company's Online Video Platform to attract and connect with churchgoers globally.
FaithWorld said it plans to promote their sermons, music and other content using Gen2's Online Video Platform.
FaithWorld, with some 6000 members, is an extension of Gen2's Online Video Platform currently powering the Salem Christian Network. Salem, a U.S. radio broadcaster and Internet content provider, is also a magazine/book publisher targeting audiences interested in Christian family-themed content and conservative values.
In a world gone online, always on, and viral, what are the implications for communities of faith? Do Facebook, Twitter, and iPhone apps represent fantastic new communication and evangelizing opportunities for the church? Faith-based communities are beginning to ask this very question.
"Deep Space Engineer" is no movie role for Mary Spio; it's the title the Syracuse and Georgia Tech alumna held at Ultra Corp before moving on toPanAmSat Corporationas a Senior Satellite Applications Engineer. A bona fide rocket scientist, Spio began gaining notoriety in her field when she joined Boeing in 2001 as the head of Satellite Communications Systems at just age 26.
At Boeing, Spio's ingenuity produced several patent-worthy developments in customer engagement and demographic targeting technology at Boeing, culminating in a new division,Boeing Digital Cinema.
Her innovations have helped change film distribution, allowing studios to transmit films via satellite. Ocean's Eleven and Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones are just two films that have hit the big screen using technology Spio developed.
Mary Spio has been a server at McDonald's and an aerospace engineer at Boeing. She holds one of the patents that make it possible to send movies to theaters digitally (no. 7,065,355, relating to "very high data rate satellite transmission"). She also founded a successful singles magazine called One2One Living and currently runs Gen2Media, an Internet-oriented video production and distribution company.
The Age of "Me"dia: Inside the Little Red Box - Spio: a real life rocket scientist now blazing through the business world. She was a pioneer in Digital Cinema at Boeing before starting Gen2Media, a video technology company offering video production, online marketing, and video delivery for companies. She's worked with Oprah, Elton John, Mary J. Blige, and more. Current clients include Microsoft, Tribune News, and Toyota.
In the last three years, Web 2.0 technologies have brought innovations to the entrepreneurial and small business markets that have enabled creativity, productivity, growth opportunities, and, yes, fun. We've watched as Facebook morphed from an Ivy League hangout into a social networking site with growing business functionality; and we've seen burgeoning business moguls take advantage of audio tools to launch radio shows that complement their businesses. No question, then, Web 2.0 is moving fast. So what's the next step? Well, if you've passed around or commented on any of the thousands of user-generated videos online, then you might have an inkling.
