Interview with Founder of Geekcorps

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-read dept.

cynical writes "WorldChanging has a new interview up with Ethan Zuckerman, founder of Geekcorps, fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, and editor of BlogAfrica, the best source of access to African bloggers around. Zuckerman talks about the growing role of blogging in the developing world, fighting corruption and censorship online, the emerging world of "social source software," and a lot more. It's a long, wide-ranging conversation; clearly, this guy is thinking big about the power of the web, especially outside the United States."

    The third Swiftboat Veterans http://www.swiftvets.com/ ad, released earlier this afternoon, is viewable and downloadable from their web site. It can be downloaded in .mpg, .mov, .wmv, and .rm formats. Kerry's infamous "Christmas in Cambodia" fabrication is disputed by one of his crewmates who ought to know, as are Kerry's claims to have EVER been in Cambodia. Not even the crewmates who stood on the podium with him in Boston will back up his story about Cambodia.

    Also, tonight C-SPAN is running Kerry's 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in which he repeats his inexcusable accusations against his "Band of Brothers" as being war criminals. It starts at 8:05 pm Eastern time, right after they show the latest Swiftboat Vets ad.
