I do not know if any of you have read Making Waves (by the Rockfeller Foundation) or is following the current on-line discussion. However, I find it very disappointing for the fact that the author thinks very low of the potential of the Internet as a communication method for social development. For more information (and links to the online edition), please visit http://nile.ca/ and look under ICT: Making Waves). The discussion is also listed there. I would appreciate if any organization with practical documented/evaluated experience in using Internet technology to affect social development would actually share in the discussion (which will end July 6).
