We must never forget In Monrovia, Liberia a unique form of journalism exists where the news is written out daily on a chalk board for everyone to read as they pass by. Alfred Sirleaf established his chalkboard news service called “Daily Talk” in May of 2000, when he saw a need for direct, free and accessible reporting. Because of [...] I love that the NYtimes Travel section is supporting an interactive means of providing its readers with travel destination information. Matt is traveling through Europe on a low budget, sharing his experiences and recommendations via blogging and vlogging once a week.

Blogs took off in Israel only in 2001, with the creation of Isra-blog, the largest [...] Passover is probably the only holiday that I get truly excited about celebrating. Not only because its great food, but for its many little customs. The Seder takes place on the first night of Passover. A time to get together with friends and family, eat well, drink lots of wine, sing and tell the story [...] If I could be anyone at this moment, it would definitely be Jan Chipchase, Nokia researcher extraordinaire. Chipchase travels around the world and focuses on user centered design for mobile phone in third world countries. I’ve been following his blog for a while now, and was excited to read Sara Corbett’s article ‘Can the Cellphone [...] Adnan Gharabiya, 34, lives in Wadi al-Na’am, a Bedouin community adjacent to Ramat Hovav in the south of Israel.

While working on his thesis, Gharabiya discovered that the Internet, and in particular instant messaging programs, are extremely popular among Bedouin youth, the [...] |
