Where is this going?
Hi.
Accoding to "What is Faithlife?" it is an online community with an implied emphasis on connecting church groups and school classes, as well as addressing commong security concerns some people have about other social networks.
Besides this, have you worked out where you want to go with the project, and more importantly how it is going to be different from facebook? What will it accomplice that a facebook app will not? Because lets face it, At this point Faithlife sure looks and feels like a stripped down version ( with the addition of the Amen button :-).

I understand your question; at the moment it doesn't look like much.
We have to get the fundamentals in place, and then we can start deploying the church and Bible-specific features. I think once we have them up you'll see some real and very valuable differences from other social networking solutions.
The most fundamental differences, though, are our focus on "communities" rather than "friends", and the private/public emphasis of the two sites.
I hope you'll see increasing value and distinction in the coming weeks.
(We have hundreds of pages of specifications outlining a very mature, very useful site... it just takes time to get it all coded! But we do have a plan...)

Where is that like button when you need it. 
Mission: To serve God as He desires.
It will be interesting to follow the development. On one hand it could look like you were going in the direction of something like fb, while on the other hand "´communities´ rather than ´friends´" could mean that you were headed to something like WebCT. I guess I am stubborn to look for some recognition, where there perhaps is none. It will be exciting to see.
Btw. A few years ago I had a job as a programmer myself, so I understand well that coding takes time and cannot be rushed (or at least should not). In fact one of my strongest memories from this time is when my boss told me how to calculate time: Do a thorough estimation of how much time you need, then mulitiply by π and finally add another 20 per cent. Coding takes time.
I join the ranks of the intrigued.
I am curious though - how does faithlife plan to distinguish itself from other similar services? For example, if this will be a subscription service, what will draw users from extremely feature-rich offerings like thecity? If it is to be free, how will this differentiate from established and growing options like tableproject?
I appreciate the distinction between faithlife and FaceBook, but these are distinctions that have also been made by others seeking to serve churches. What is the niche that Logos is aiming for that will provide differentiation?
Bottom line, is this product seeking to fill a need that appears to be unaddressed, or is Logos (a la Apple) trying to provide an ecosystem of products such that all of a Christian's digital desires can be met under one large Logos umbrella?
Thanks!

That is yet to be seen, and much has not been revealed.

In a way, I think so.

Except, of course, for a robust comprehensive note system [;)]
"As any translator will attest, a literal translation is no translation at all."
Faithlife.com also has Praying button.
On an iPad, searching for "logos bible software" finds 3 apps so am aware Faithlife will be more than a web site.
Personally not know all that is planned; looking forward to learning more.
Keep Smiling [:)]
It's a series of tools that will all mesh together to allow lots of collaboration. Wait for the announcement. Once everything is up and running, I think you will see it's a completely different beast all together.
