I just posted the article about Ushahidi and its future challenges that was published in the Index on Censorship last month (‘Crowd Wisdom’ by Heather Ford in Index on Censorship December 2012, vol. 41, no. 4 33-39 doi: 10.1177/0306422012465800) . I wrote about Ushahidi’s emergence as a powerful tool used in countries around the world to document elections, disasters and food – among others – and the coming challenges as the majority of Ushahidi implementations remain ‘small data’ projects and as tools move towards automatic verification, something only possible with ‘Big Data’.
