Methinks this is the industry that should put a lot of focus on the role of ICTs in disaster management/emergency preparedness going forward. Robert I agree with you, a number of those cool kids are wasting time on apps that are not useful and cannot be monetized. I can rant on and on but this is not the time for that.

Hi,

As we console all those who where affected by the happenings at the Westgate Mall over the weekend do we remain blameless as an industry?
