DISQUS

VentureBeat: Kenyan tech bloggers launch crisis-report site

  • Erik · 1 year ago
    Thanks for covering Ushahidi David. We're seeing deeper penetration into Kenya every day. We now have over 35,000 pageviews and over 30 incidents reported.

    The bigger question that needs to be answered is:

    Next week, when the next big crisis hits somewhere in the world, will there be a group of tech guys ready and willing to create a useful tool?

    Let's hope so. Or, let's get something more global off the ground that can make a difference immediately without having to take 2-3 days to do something like Ushahidi.

    Don't promote Ushahidi !!!

    David Kobia is the creator of Mashada and its forum is promoting violence, tribal clashes and hate speeches... Mashada is one of the place where people will kill you with words. This forum has no moderator and David is doing nothing to moderate the place.

    Just as an example, see

    "You useless dirty minded kikuyu demon, don't you realise you are toying with very dangerous issues here? You are mad and deserve HELL. You will rot in hell and save the country such maddness,. You are rotten and filthy minded....you are so frustrated and hopeless. Go hang your stupid self somewhere very far from Kenya you demon from the heart of hell!!!!

    Kuma mayo! Bloody Kikuyu idiot"

    How can a man develop a useful website such as Ushahidi and in the same time promote violence and clashes in Mashada.

    Again, don't promote Ushahidi as long as Mashada is not moderating. Do the contrary, do like me !!

    "We have barricaded their only route to their rural homes. In Nairobi we have engaged the Mungiki, they will either pay us in order for us not to kill them, or we will kill them....

    This is what awaits every misguided jaluo and kalenjin:

    [picture of men in blood]"

    Thanks David !!!
    Not sure Mr Obama will like this...

    I hope you will be in big trouble soon...
    By the way, are you safe in Alabama ?
    You are such an idi*t, please moderate your websites as the US law stipulate it !!
