iRevolution One Year On…

I started iRevolution exactly one year ago and it’s been great fun! I owe the Fletcher A/V Club sincere thanks for encouraging me to blog. Little did I know that blogging was so stimulating or that I’d be blogging from the Sudan.

Here are some stats from iRevolution Year One:

• Total number of blog posts = 212
• Total number of comments = 453
• Busiest day ever = December 15, 2008

And the Top 10 posts:

1. Crisis Mapping Kenya’s Election Violence
2. The Past and Future of Crisis Mapping
3. Mobile Banking for the Bottom Billion
4. Impact of ICTs on Repressive Regimes
5. Towards an Emergency News Agency
6. Intellipedia for Humanitarian Warning/Response
7. Crisis Mapping Africa’s Cross-border Conflicts
8. 3D Crisis Mapping for Disaster Simulation
9. Digital Resistance: Digital Activism and Civil Resistance
10. Neogeography and Crisis Mapping Analytics

I do have a second blog that focuses specifically on Conflict Early Warning, which I started at the same time. I have authored a total of 48 blog posts.

That makes 260 posts in 12 months. Now I know where all the time went!

The Top 10 posts:

1. Crimson Hexagon: Early Warning 2.0
2. CSIS PCR: Review of Early Warning Systems
3. Conflict Prevention: Theory, Police and Practice
4. New OECD Report on Early Warning
5. Crowdsourcing and Data Validation
6. Sri Lanka: Citizen-based Early Warning/Response
7. Online Searches as Early Warning Indicators
8. Conflict Early Warning: Any Successes?
9. Ushahidi and Conflict Early Response
10. Detecting Rumors with Web-based Text Mining System

I look forward to a second year of blogging! Thanks to everyone for reading and commenting, I really appreciate it!
