		<description><![CDATA[M-novels, or mobile novels (stories on your cellphone) are on the rise in South Africa, as Michelle Matthews explained so well in &#8220;Cell-lit is all the rage&#8221;. In SA there is about 10% PC-based internet connectivity, while the number of people with access to cellphones ranges from 60% to 90% (depending on which community you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently had a conversation with some people at Google about mobile applications for sub-Saharan Africa. Two key issues emerged: i) South Africa is ahead of the pack in terms of cellphone adoption, coverage and services, and ii) the lowest common denominator is still SMS.
If Google, or anyone else who wants to seriously play in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s great to see an innovative approach to HIV education: Metropolitan and CellBook have created an information booklet &#8212; called B the Future &#8212; on HIV and Aids that can be downloaded onto your cellphone. An iAfrica.com article explains the concept nicely. To try it for yourself, SMS the word HIV to 32907.

		<description><![CDATA[I first came across Twitter, the micro-blogging service, in 2006 when I was living in San Francisco. Up until quite recently I resisted using it for the simple reason that I didn&#8217;t think I needed to. I was also worried about the concomitant information overload and time consumption that Twitter inevitably brings with it.
But then [...]]]></description>

My best read of 2008 was Little Brother by Cory Doctorow, sci-fi writer, co-editor of Boing Boing and general good guy.

The event was part of an alternate reality game (ARG) called The [...]]]></description>
