Oso (a.k.a. David Sasaki) – friend and great source of inspiration – has been running the Rising Voices project, a spinoff of Global Voices, one of my all time favorite initiatives on the web. Rising Voices is successful because it arms real people with the tools to tell their stories. The projects usually focus on [...] 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.

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 [...] A friend put it nicely as we were sipping our 7-11 champagne out of plastic cups in front of Mes Amis, right after the Hong Kong Sevens final game. She said ‘This city is like living in Neverland; you never have to grow up, and nobody thinks you’re ridiculous for doing things your own way’. [...] …500 monks emerged in rows four across. They carried flags and overturned alms bowls. When the first group stopped and chanted a prayer, some people in the crowd dared to clap. It was timid at first, but as more monks emerged to begin their protest, the clapping grew louder until the whole crowd seemed overcome [...] Again I’m facing the same burning question that asked half a year ago when I was working on Indigi-Net – Looking at ways that travelers can serve as the extension of the network and participate in local initiatives. In my exploration last year, I found that it was extremely difficult to find information on causes [...] |
