Getting sermons online is questionably valuable. So, might as well make it easy for the pastor to do, right? Otherwise, duties don't get done, standards fall, or we just don't get the sermons up in time, or ever. After all the best thing for your listeners is live, combined with archiving, for listening later, (like Tivo.)
But it's got to be easy. That usually means compromises, such costs, or functionality. So, I've put together a Google Docs spreadsheet that I'm filling out as I test out these different options.
Remember, sustainability is key as well. Once the people start listening, will the service suddenly start charging? Or if it's free, will they disappear, along with all your hard work? That's why download your uploaded sermons are important, if you want to keep them. But why? Just let the most recent go up to the cloud, for those who are traveling, or shut-ins. Archiving is over-rated.
Just have an alternative to switch to, if it goes fritz. So I'm trying to pick the two most functional ones, and use feedburner to switch between services if one fades away.
