One of the projects going on behind the Burma cyclone is the development of Geochat &#8211; basically a spatially-enabled Twitter &#8211; as a disaster response tool. Given [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, cyclone in Burma followed a week later by earthquake in China. Business as usual, I&#8217;m afraid &#8211; we live in a world of accidents waiting to happen. When an accident does happen, though, how do we know about it? There&#8217;s been a blizzard of coverage in the blogosphere about how Twitter beat the US [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So it all kicked off in Myanmar this week, except that it didn&#8217;t, because the military regime has managed to bungle the response to Cyclone Nargis. We could get into a long discussion about the whys and wherefores, and there&#8217;s some frightening talk about the &#8220;right to respond&#8221; over-riding sovereignty, but let&#8217;s stay focused on [...]]]></description>

Such are the workings of the web that these things always come around if you wait long enough. So I&#8217;ll preface this blog [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been frequent discussion here &#8211; and blogs like MobileActive, of course &#8211; about how cellphones can be used in humanitarian responses. It&#8217;s worth remembering, however, that technology is neutral &#8211; both &#8220;good guys&#8221; and &#8220;bad guys&#8221; use it (if you can be bothered with that way of looking at the world) &#8211; and that, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve been reading this blog for a while, you&#8217;ll know that I&#8217;m not convinced that cellphones are secure and stable enough to rely on in an emergency. Yesterday, a bomb went off just down the road from Sanjana&#8217;s home, killing 17 people and injuring 30. Sure enough, the mobile network went down immediately after [...]]]></description>
