As is required of every blogger from time to time, I want to push you all (or “y’all” if you prefer) to some posts that popped up in our Twitter stream. Check it:

• Frontline SMS in Agriculture
  Frontline SMS is a great tool that allows Nonprofits to take advantage of group text messaging. While, to many in the United States, mass text messaging seems like a strange sort of outreach, mobile phones are becoming the ubiquitous communication device in countries where widespread computer ownership or internet access is limited. As you can imagine, the idea has a lot of potential and in this post, Kiwanja highlights Frontline’s intersection with agriculture.
