Something like this would help to get updates from home

Ushahidi.com is a tool for people who witness acts of violence in Kenya in these post-election times. You can report the incident that you have seen, and it will appear on a map-based view for others to see. We are working with local Kenyan NGO’s to get information and to verify each incident.

 

What you can do is get the word out about Ushahidi so that it’s utilized to it’s full potential. This especially extends to talking to the people that you know who have seen things in Kenya and getting them to the site as well. You can also help by using the contact form to volunteer to help with the tracking and verifying of each incident.

I think what happened in Kenya is not compared to what is happening in Somalia at all. It is out of hand and far far away from what one can record in such tools.

^^Oo Somalida internet connection ma haystaan? Sowtan aad adiguba netka ku jirto ninyow?

 

Run ahaantii, inkastoo meelaha qaarkood ay go'doon ama 'remote' yihiin, hada wixii ka dhaca magaalooyinka waaweyn waxaa suurta gal ah in computerka hore laga soo gesho sxb.

 

Overall, I think this tool is useful for home news updates.
