It is a shame that the SMS number for Ushahidi is so long. For those who have submitted reports, how did they find out about the number and are they also aware of the web interface? I wonder if you could approach one of the local mobile service providers about adding SMS support to open-source http://identi.ca: http://louisgray.com/live/2008/07/identica-launches-sms-support-sort-of.html The information that the Foko bloggers have been contributing during such a time of crisis has been truly amazing. I hope that peace returns quickly. I agree that it’s important to focus on the safety of the citizen journalists. It is a shame that the SMS number for Ushahidi is so long.

The Ushahidi tool will allow Madagascar based individuals to send information on incidents via SMS messages to the geospatial friendly Ushahidi platform. As you may have seen in the current political crisis, especially during the unrest of January 26, when no news from the traditional media were available, information came in through new social media tools. Ushahidi will help gather all the information, confirmed and unconfirmed, and help visualize it on a map.  The number for sending SMS to Ushahidi in Madagascar is 00447800000197.
