On January 26, 1995 the "News" launched the Crossroads Information Network, allowing subscribers to access the "News" digitally through their dial-up service; digital-only subscriptions were also created. Installation of the Crossroads software—which was mailed on floppy disk to each subscriber beginning in February 1995—was required on each user's computer. The network also allowed users to access the paper's complete text along with archives back to April 1988, the "Church News" and the LDS Church Almanac. The software allowed subscribers to communicate with each other through an e-mail-like system. Eventually the Crossroads Information Network was shut down and its features were moved to DesNews.com, which itself was replaced with DeseretNews.com.
