  • Surprise guest at Netroots (20.07 15:08) Al Gore made a surprise appearance at the progressive bloggers Netroots Nation meeting in Austin, Texas this week. Maybe we should think up a surprise guest for next year’s Global Voices Summit… But who? I can’t imagine there would be many global establishment figures people would be happy to see at our gathering. But maybe we could persuade Ethan and Rebecca to wear dinosaur costumes or jump out ... ]\" id=\"f_10982995\">Surprise guest at Netroots

  • Dreams of Global Voices (08.07 21:12) Photo by Neha Viswanathan I have finally stopped dreaming about the Global Voices Summit. Every night my mind was filled with images of the people I spent the day with, probably mostly spurred by the pressures of keeping things running smoothly. They weren’t unpleasant dreams, but it’s really nice to have my brain to myself again. This year’s Summit was actually three meetings in one. There was a... ]\" id=\"f_10348840\">Dreams of Global Voices
  • Six new Rising Voices projects (05.07 19:23) Rising Voices is one the most fabulous aspects of the work we do at Global Voices. Citizen media activists in remote corners of the world are awarded micro-grants of up to $5000 to get members of their community to start blogging. I never imagined indigenous communities in Bolivia, or prison inmates in Jamaica would respond with such gusto. The whole project is so fun, and life-affirming.

  • Zero Tolerance Fridays (27.05 00:54) My friend X used to hold a lot of barbecues on the street in front of his ground floor apartment, but this summer he’s thinking it might not be such a good idea. Police patrols have increased in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and he’s worried his guest might get in trouble with the police. Paranoid perhaps, but it’s only a couple of weeks ago that his roommate was fined $25 dollars for walking quietly fro... ]\" id=\"f_9475829\">Zero Tolerance Fridays
  • Cyclone, what cyclone? (17.05 02:37) We’ve been getting tons of news on Global Voices about how activists and bloggers are using the web to distribute information from Myanmar after the cyclone, including numerous citizens videos of the devastation. The situation is obviously incredibly serious, although you wouldn’t know it from reading the state-run newspaper, The New Light of Myanmar. Only one week after the cyclone, you had to le... ]\" id=\"f_9475830\">Cyclone, what cyclone?
  • Ouch. Hillary portrayed as “sore loser” with “racist voters” (15.05 18:36) Okay, the Saturday Night Live video below is sort of funny as satire, but ends on a pretty serious note. Up until recently, everyone seemed to be patting each other on the back congratulating America for not playing up Obama’s race or Hillary’s gender as an issue. I think Hillary’s campaign has helped change this. If he talked about “male” voters, as much as she talks about “white working class vo... ]\" id=\"f_9475831\">Ouch.

  • Love the content, love the ads? (13.05 20:13) Paying for content on the web is pretty unpopular these days. Luckily for free content providers, ad sales online seem to be picking up. Lots of bloggers, non-profit websites and others, put free Google Ads or similar money-earning services on their sites. The user agreement for Google Ads (and probably others too) stipulates you aren’t allowed to ask people to click on them. That makes sense to ... ]\" id=\"f_9475832\">Love the content, love the ads?
