GlobalVoices

Rebecca and Ethan are leading the Tuesday lunch session at Berkman. They're explaining Global Voices, an attempt to crack open the little shells we live in so we can hear, well, global voices.There are all sorts of issues to be resolved: Internationalized software, free anonymous hosting, and identifying "bridge-bloggers" who "have feet in two worlds." But, it's getting going now. They even point out that there are instances when they're getting international news via bloggers faster than the MSM; they're developing a network of bloggers on the ground around the world.

The Global Voices wiki is here.

If you want to tag a post as relevant to Global Voices, tag it as "globalvoices" at delicious. [Technorati tag: GlobalVoices]

Thanks for linking the wiki as well as the blog. Bloggers aren't necessarily used to being able to insert their thoughts and visions so directly and deeply into the sites they visit and respond to; it helps to keep pointing them there.

We probably need a grab-you-by-th'-nose introduction to editing boldly linked above the fold on the front page..
