    Nabuur: Making a difference around the world, online
    \x0a \x0a \x0a
    \x0a

    I just read this on Ethan Zuckerman’s blog:

    \x0a

    Nabuur, a new project based in the Netherlands (and funded by some of the kind folks who fund Global Voices) are trying basically the polar opposite model of what we tried with Geekcorps. They invite everyone to volunteer, don’t put anyone on airplanes and focus on what well-meaning volunteers can do over the web.

    \x0a

    \x0a

    In my experience, the hard part of all developing world volunteer projects is defining tasks that are helpful for the beneficiaries and possible for a volunteer to carry out. Geekcorps volunteer assignments worked well when we found companies that could say, “Send us an expert who can teach us how to migrate from Access to MySQL”, and really badly when we worked with companies who said, “Can you send us someone who’ll make our business better?”

    \x0a

    “Nabuur seems to understand this and has organized their system around small, achievable tasks.”

  15. \x0a Making Mobile Search Work\x0a \x0a \x0a
    \x0a David Herrold’s post to Poynter’s E-Media Tidbits today. I asked him to write this because apparently most news orgs don’t have a clue about how to offer site search on their mobile sites. He was MUCH nicer than I would have been.\x0a

    Where the hell is the Tumblr bookmarklet?

    …Hmmm, I dunno why, but I had to make this post in order to get the bookmarlet. seems odd….

    \x0a [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]\x0a
    \x0a \x0a \x0a
    \x0a

    This audio clip, from a July 11 On the Media interview with NYT media reporter David Carr, says it all.

    \x0a

    Truer words were never spoken. I don’t want to point fingers here, but if I had a nickel for every time a journalist tried to go “off the record” with me, or to get to see & approve their quotes prior to publication, or to argue over trivial details in order to dodge substantive issues, or to basically just freak out because they got criticized, my house would be paid off.

    \x0a

    I’m just saying…
