On 1st January, kiwanja.net launched two new website services – an online mobile database and a gallery of images. The mobile database is a resource designed to provide information on mobile usage around the world. With a particular emphasis on social and environmental initiatives, articles and reports, it aims to assist academics, professionals and practitioners interested in ways mobile telephony is being used to enhance environmental, social, humanitarian, political and economic causes. The database launches with details of several dozen projects, articles and reports, and will be continually updated with past, present and future initiatives as they come online. Users are encouraged to help by submitting details of their own projects, and volunteers are encouraged to assist with general updating.
