Scott Cummins Sat, 15 Oct 2005 02:09:08 +0000 http://www.softwarebyrob.com/2005/08/21/using-technology-to-fight-poverty/#comment-22 Thanks for this excellent post - which I have linked here http://www.pscottcummins.com/blog/2005/10/discovery-institute-and-open.html regarding encouraging blogging in Africa. Blogging would be my addition to your list, because it is not only effective but also free - and can be done from any CyberCafe' - but we do need to encourage Blogger (and others) to develop less graphic intensive, low bandwidth products for use in the twisted-pair dial-up internet of the developing world. Give some thought to that, and consider adding your voice to the call for these products.
