Hi! I’m Chris Schultz. You’ve landed on my little outpost of internetville. I’m a unrepentant entrepreneur-enabler & community-activator. Thanks for swinging by. A penny for your thoughts.

Interview with Erik Hersman about Ushahidi.com

I got a chance to reconnect with Erik Hersman at SXSW & FOWA. He was on a great panel called Africa 2.0. I interviewed him about the site he helped create called Ushahidi.com to track the violence in Kenya surrounding the recent elections.

Congratulations to Erik on all he is doing, I encourage you to visit Ushahidi.com and get involved. More about Erik can be found at WhiteAfrican and Afrigadget. As a fellow african-american, (born in Nigeria, raised in Kenya), the violence in Kenya has been very upsetting and I really appreciate all the effort that Erik (Hash) is making.
