My buddy Drew Goodmanson has some good news about Sermon Cloud. This is a cool idea you need to check out. Here's some info...
Sermon Cloud is a website for a community to interact with sermons. What are the powerful sermons people are listening to? Who are the up-and-coming preachers of the day? Where are the messages about themes that you need to hear? How can you find a great preacher in your home town? Sermon Cloud was designed to help you with all of these questions. Sermon Cloud users help let each other know which sermons they amen. An 'amen' is a recommendation of the sermon. Users can post comments about their interaction with these sermons (even the comments can be designated as helpful or unhelpful). Sign-up for free to begin interacting, commenting and recommending sermons

I'm not sure what I think about mp3 sermon capability. Being able to listen to Piper, Mahaney, Mohler, Dever, and so, is a great thing. But too much of great thing can sometimes be overload. We need wisdom to go along with these new advantages. Also, there is something priceless about listening to a local pastor exegete the word in a way that brings a personal touch. My pastor can preach in way that only someone who knows me and the rest of the congregation, personally can do.

Sounds like a sweet idea. It would be impossible for it to replicate sitting in the pew. Yet it will likely encourage more community/discussion amongst believers. I just hope pastors don't end up viewing it as a score card of some sort.
