Leaders at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta went into last year’s GivingTuesday with a plan.

Reports of violence and of peace efforts could be placed via the web or mobile phone. What’s important to note here is that unlike wiki or websites, the direct forms of content creation, with Ushahidi citizens only needed to know the number to which they send reports from their phone. That’s why the Atlanta councilman used twitter!

Sometimes it has worked swimmingly like this one with Amy Sample Ward in 2008, other times not. For the audio, we use a phone line that was fed into the AV system and wireless mic. So, I asked our session moderator to use her cell phone and text me updates while Liz or I were presenting. Talk about multi-tasking.
