Interview with Founder of Geekcorps

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."

    ...and nitpicking about how blogs are narcissistic and boring, how links in text are a pain(!), Geekcorps is creating a nationwide information network in Mali.

    I'm kinda glad that most people in the US ignore the world outside. It makes it easier for the rest of us to get things done.
