hi everyone -
there's a nice mention of DDN on slashdot.org this evening. the title
of of the story
is: IT and Natural Disasters
here's the opening text of the story.
rikomatic writes "The Asian tsunami in December has dramatically shown how
much SMS, email and the web are now indispensible parts of disaster
recovery. The folks at the Digital Divide Network have organized a virtual
conference on 'How New Media and the Internet are Reshaping Tsunami Relief
Efforts' on Wednesday, Jan 12 at 10am, EST.
