Antonella’s post on the experience of the CGIAR at COP 15 documented how social media helps your communication efforts.
Key message: if you want your work to reach wider audiences, to get enriched by their contributions and to be as visible as possible- You can’t go wrong with social media; something the ICT-KM Program has been actively promoting for a while now.

Following our recent recruitment drive, this month we’re bringing on board a second software developer and a new FrontlineSMS Project Manager, both based out of our new (donated) London offices.

I guess a related question is: who will create such content? WIll the telecom be involved in the process? As software in cellphones is becoming more and more controlled and sometimes policed by the manufacturer (see the iPhone) one has to wonder how much freedom will be granted to an application that delivers "questionable content". In sum, while internet experienced from a desktop/laptop is essentially free (as in speech), I doubt the same could be said for a cellphone.
