(Thanks to Eddie for linking to <A HREF="http://bibleandtech.blogspot.com/2008/09/biblelogoscom.html" REL="nofollow">this post</A> through Bible Behemoth - your giant baby is doing some good, David.) <A HREF="http://www.logos.com/reftagger" REL="nofollow">The Logos RefTagger tool</A> currently "automatically turns all of your Bible references into hyperlinks to the passages at BibleGateway.com", but "As soon as Bible.Logos.com is ready to handle all the traffic that RefTagger is generating, we’re going to flip the switch and connect the two." This kind of tie-up would make sense.

Too many purchasers of resources like this manage to kill their goose before it has laid more than a couple of golden eggs. In this case charging for access would probably kill the site, especially if there are half decent competitors. But advertising that is modest in both quantity and content could bring in a good income.Peter Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395635409427347613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11875966.post-5422609994727548832008-09-22T10:42:00.000-07:002008-09-22T10:42:00.000-07:00Not to worry, there is also biblos.comNot to worry, there is also <A HREF="http://biblos.com" REL="nofollow">biblos.com</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11875966.post-38282419520371492502008-09-22T09:05:00.000-07:002008-09-22T09:05:00.000-07:00That's where I go first, David.

It has so many different translations, as well as online commentaries, particularly the BG IVP NT commentaries which I have found very useful.<BR/><BR/>Crosswalk has a lot of stuff, too, but it's so much that if your computer isn't the latest and most powerful it could choke on all that info. Of the common Bible sites, I think BG is the friendliest to use.
