But what harm can it do ?


For someone with an iPhone (or Google phone) with OSM with a layer 
including OSMBugs=OSMEmergency in it

Exemple use case 1:
You want to report a emergency request. As soon as you are in an area 
with Internet access, you click on the location, type your report, and 
the whole world can see it.

Exemple use case 2:
You are looking for someone who has been calling for help. As long as 
you are in a covered area, you have the location on your screen and you 
can get incoming status updates.


Now please let me go to sleep. :)

Seems great, and certainly useful. But I am not on the ground to judge.

I have seen reports that OSM is in GPS/apps on the ground.

I don't know about ushahidi.
Don't have/take time to browse, but, tired as i am, when i try, i get lost.

On my screen it certainly looks much heavier than OSMBugs.

Are you sure it doesn't fit in the "new technology" category your 
previous quote was against ?
