New blog on Web 2.0 for development
The organizers of the Web2fordev Conference, "the first conference devoted to exploring ways in which international development actors can take advantage of the technical and organizational opportunities provided by Web 2.0" have launched a blog as a warm-up to the event.
P.S. For the latest example of a practical application of Web 2.0 in the development context, see how Google Earth is helping an Amazon tribe defend themselves against illegal loggers and miners. And if you haven't come across it already, Google Earth's Crisis in Darfur project, a collaboration with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, is worth taking a look at - and taking action.

Its a great idea to bring together development practitioners throught these interactive mediums of communication. As a development practitioner from Africa, I love putting across my views and thoughts on how Africa can develop and hope this will bring us together. Please visis my blog or email me.

I am not sure if this will really pull enough to help significantly.

Well Web 3.0 is around the corner. Check out this interesting definition by Sramana Mitra, silicon valley entrepreneur and strategist. Web 3.0 = (4C + P + VS).
