How texting and GoogleMaps helped Kenyans survive crisis
This might be of interest....wonder how this could be used to keep our politicians on Track on Agenda 4! http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/523 This is a cool short talk on TED Talks. At TEDU 2009, Erik Hersman presents the remarkable story of Ushahidi, a GoogleMap mashup that allowed Kenyans to report and track violence via cell phone texts following the 2008 elections, and has evolved to continue saving lives in other countries.
