Where Africa and Technology Collide!

Quick Hits: Ushahidi and African Mobile Posts

We’re at the NetSquared conference (day 2) still, where we’ll learn the verdict of the voters on whether or not we win. So, cross your fingers! Here’s an interview done of me (short). I actually was laughing at myself since it looks like I’m talking into a fish-eye lense.

Short interview at NetSquared of me. I’ll add the one of David when it is posted.(video)

Ushahidi covered on the TED Blog

After the NetSquared event last night, David and I took off for the WordPress party where we met up with Matt Mullenweg, creator of WordPress.

Mobile Phone Posts
One of my favorite bloggers has written a piece on South African mobile banking options.

A write up by Katrin of Mobile Active on the “Say no to Xenophobia” campaign being run by Cell-Life in South Africa. I hope their campaign starts coordinating with the United for Africa campaign soon, it only makes sense.

Jan Chipchase on, “Understanding Non-Literacy as a Barrier to Mobile Phone Communication“, part of a larger publication.

  1. Finally we have firm images to attach to both Hash and the man behind Mashada. I reiterate, best of luck to Ushahidi and tell the founder of WordPress much thanks and much love from yet another satisfied user.

  2. hello,
    I reached here through google search and found this blog very nice and informative.

  3. Hello,

    I would like to know if the core of Ushahidi was opensource or something like that..

    Coz, the idea can be replicated in many african countries to monitore many activities (rapts, police shots, corruption, murders, frauds, etc..)
