Had coffee with Ken Banks, founder of Kiwanja.net this week. He has created two resources worth mentioning here.
Mobile Applications Database - a searchable database with links to some 250 recent articles, documents and projects about innovative applications of mobile technology - with a particular focus on those with a social/environmental impact in emerging markets. Nice way for mobile handset manufacturers and service providers to keep a finger on the pulse of interesting uses of their technology in these markets.
FrontlineSMS - a SMS messaging management application designed specifically for NGOs (and free of charge for them). Was recently used by HELP in Nigeria to manage some 11,000 SMS messages they received from their volunteer presidential election monitors across the country....could also have commercial applications in the future.
