Today a youth pastor from the USA asked me for some advice on training youth workers in Mexico. He’s going there on a mission trip and is looking for resources. I have lots of resources, of course, that will help the youth workers there. One of them is a large book in PDF format that one of my friends (the author) gave me. I have permission to share it, so I tried to email it. It was too large. So what did I do?
I went to twitter and asked for advice on how to send large files. Here are the responses I got.
- Valdez: Used Pando a few weeks ago. 1GB max, but easy to use. http://www.pando.com/
- McLanea: I upload to a web server and give the recipient the link.
- SimplyInsider: check out yousendit.com. you can send up to 100 MB free or pay to send up to 2 GB. we use it and it is super helpful…
- Justinross: This site has worked well for me- http://www.mediafire.com/
That’s why I love twitter! In a matter of minutes, I got the answer to my question. I eventually used yousendit.com. It was easy and fast. I’m sure all of the suggestions are useful.
What do you use for sending large files?

Just a reminder that you should only download videos you have the right to download (i.e. your own vids or someone else’s who has given you authorization to use the video.) Be sure to read the terms of service first.

A thirteen year old girl text messaged that word (34 letters) in 15 seconds, and she won $25,000 for doing it. (see story here.) She says she sends more than 8000 text messages each month.
What does this tell us about today’s generation? It tells me a lot. It tells us a lot about communication, one of the most important parts of any kind of ministry, but especially youth ministry. We need to be in communication with our students. Text messaging is a great way to do it.

If you’ve already read the ebook, Generation Youtube, and you’re all ready to put up video on the web, you should check out this article about how to prep and post your video to the web. The article talks about this question, “Which of the many video sharing sites should you use?” It also says that, “The answer really depends on your goals for the video.”
It’s a good read and useful for anyone who wants to put video on the web.
