  The Cellphone That Could Change the World

  I want to echo Ken's sentiments about the end users and the role of local innovation. I was moved to see the Cambodia lab team learning Ushahidi & FrontlineSMS, I know they could deploy them if needed, and contribute to their source in a future.
  We all know the tech is the easy part...It is very early in the world of mobile apps with a social purpose, and as early contributors we have the imperative to lead by example on not just 'what', but 'how' and 'why' and ' by whom' things get built.

  The Cellphone That Could Change the World

  Argh - was leaving a comment and it kept growing, so here is a new blog post. In it I touch on what I see as gaps in the original article, the issues of scalability and interop, and pointers to the topic of data portability. Hope it adds to the dialogue, this is just my .02. I tried focusing on the big picture and the trends.
