Outside of the various ways one could use his quotes, I don't see a lot of room for such a large man to be condensed into an app.<br />An "I am feeling..." with a list of selectable emotions, and a response from GKC for each would be wonderful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19678732.post-46915628458838101002009-12-15T15:49:16.399-06:002009-12-15T15:49:16.399-06:00Let's think larger - I don't want a search...Let's think larger - I don't want a search engine to just quotes - I want it to also put me into the online document. No, either the online document or an audio recording of it (Ok, maybe that last part's a bit much). <br /><br />And a further link to the ACS website where they can purchase the real doc while they're at it. <br /><br />Reading whole documents on the Ipod is a bit of a pain, I like real paper. But it's not bad for a paragraph or two - let's not limit us to just "quotes" of our man Gilbert.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830740919973561925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19678732.post-12999775717054559872009-12-15T13:18:31.059-06:002009-12-15T13:18:31.059-06:00Not sure if you're aware, but some companies c...Not sure if you're aware, but some companies can create podcast applications out of your podcast feeds. I think Libsyn (your podcast host) offers this and does all of the work for you for part of the revenue.<br /><br />In a nutshell, you would use your podcast feed and make an application that allows users to listen to your content through the app. It might be worth checking out. I know that Today In iPhone (TII) has one and they're with Libsyn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19678732.post-73012719025510456782009-12-15T11:57:31.751-06:002009-12-15T11:57:31.751-06:00All those ideas sound great!

Another thing to add might be allusions to Chesterton in popular culture\literature - places where he's quoted in current events, things like Gaiman's Sandman comics, etc.Kempisoshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14020468120565808266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19678732.post-75847741981650685212009-12-15T10:37:04.283-06:002009-12-15T10:37:04.283-06:00Nancy,

It would also be great to have a repository of Chesterton quotes by subject.<br /><br />And yes I do have an iPhone.Dominic Tramontanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00556239518402022331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19678732.post-33378000449217802662009-12-15T09:43:47.613-06:002009-12-15T09:43:47.613-06:00How about sound bites so when you are in a heated ...How about sound bites so when you are in a heated discussion you can hit the sound that applies appropriately to the discussion at hand?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19678732.post-92189296158718132762009-12-15T08:34:41.327-06:002009-12-15T08:34:41.327-06:00Perhaps a Modernity Search Engine.

You enter a term that describes what you're having to wrestle with, say: the dispersion of marriage definitions, evangelistic atheism, or the worship of science, and then the GK Chesterton app recognizes the keywords and comes back with a quotation that helps put it all back in its place.David Zachhttp://www.davidzach.comnoreply@blogger.com
