“Mashup” Kuonyesha Fujo Dhidi ya Wageni Afrika Kusini

Teknolojia ya mashup inakuja juu kwa kasi sana (bonyeza hapa usome “mashup” ni kitu gani kama hufahamu). Kuna Ushahidi, iliyoanzishwa kuonyesha fujo zilizotokea nchini Kenya baada ya Kibaki kuiba. Jamaa wa Sokwanele kule Zimbabwe nao walitumia “mashup” kuonyesha kama uchaguzi nchini humo ulikuwa wa huru na haki. Pia kuna Tunisia Prison Map.

Sasa kufuatia fujo dhidi ya wageni nchini Afrika Kusini, jamaa wa United for Africa wameamua kutumia teknolojia hii ya “mashup” kuonyesha fujo zinakotoea na madhara yake:

UnitedForAfrica.co.za is for the collective good and is brought to you by a collaboration of a wide range of Africans living throughout this beautiful continent, Europe and America. An interactive portal for all African’s who witness xenophobic violence in Southern Africa or who have relevant information to share or learn. Here you can anonymously submit incidents and news and it will appear on a map-based view for others to see.

Unajua yanayoendelea Zimbabwe. Ushenzi. Udikteta. “Demokrasia” ya kijambazi. Nimetazama aina mbalimbali za teknolojia ambazo Wazimbabwe wametumia (watu binafsi na mashirika yasiyo ya kiserikali) katika harakati za kujenga demokrasia ya kweli. Nikaamua kuandika makala kuhusu teknolojia hizo. Makala hii iko katika blogu ya Global Voices Online na pia makala fupi katika blogu ya Reuters:

In countries such as Zimbabwe where media and political freedom is extremely restricted, new technologies have become powerful tools for political campaigning, communication, advocacy and mobilisation. Bloggers and civic organisations have resorted to using new tools and applications such as Flickr, Facebook, SMS text messages, YouTube and mashups to fight for democracy, media freedom and good governance.

Mwanafunzi wa uandishi wa habari, James Buck, anashukuru teknolojia ya Twitter kwa kumsaidia alipotiwa ndani nchini Misri. Soma habari nzima kwenye Washington Post. Na kama hufahamu Twitter ni kitu gani, bonyeza hapa usome makala fupi niliyoandika kuhusu Twitter.

James Karl Buck says he has Twitter to thank for his freedom.
Buck, a journalism grad student, was arrested in Egypt last week, and his only communication to the outside world was through his cellphone, which he used to post a message on the micro-blogging site.
“Arrested,” he typed into his phone, a message that broadcast via the Web to his friends in the United States and bloggers in Egypt.
