Kigali Wire Roughbook

Ideas, as they come to me, mostly posted by phone to help improve or make more of a mess of kigaliwire.com

That’s 75 different destinations now set up - minus a few of the video sites which I’ll get to if and when I ever shoot any video - The key ones I’ve spent a wee bit of time nurturing are twitter, flickr and less so - but still a bit - on delicious.
Twitter plays the key role in getting info out there, delicious is an easy way to plug external news via an RSS feed into the site sidebar and flickr is great for “community building”. In addition, I’ve come to really like posterous, mobypicture and pikchur - both are great mobile photo blogging sites which I’ll be doing a lot more with.
I really need to formulate a plan to really work on each tool in a systematic manner to see who is using it, who is interested in Rwanda/Africa etc. All a bit disorganised on that front at the moment. I doubt I’m going to find a lot of folk deeply interested in Rwanda and I’m wondering if the time and effort involved in the hunt will be worth it… so, loose monitoring it is for the time being.
Also, I have yet to add any live video sites like qik, ustream and the like - I’m thinking of buying a new iPhone in Europe that I could hack to use qik. Or possibly getting some kind of data account and using an old Sony Ericcson K800i for live video on the go - but this is not a priority for the time being.
