    I can't think of a better example of Deep Social Networking that the case study in this video. Skip ahead to around 7:00, especially from 8:30 to the end where they talk about Ushahidi.

    I encourage everyone to this out! Especially in light of the draft paper we are working on.

    Regarding the paper, given that Indonesia hit hard by the tsunami of 2004, the readers might respond well to this case study involving social media and mobile.

    A group of Nigerian grassroots organizations and agencies have joined together to form ReclaimNaija, in an effort to provide the Nigerian electorate a way to report on the elections as they happen. ReclaimNaija documents how citizens are experiencing the elections by using FrontlineSMS to receive and send text message reports, and Ushahidi to visually map the election reports received. It is very exciting to see FrontlineSMS being used in this way, especially because one of the first public use cases of the software was during the last Nigerian elections in 2007.
