New Bush-protesting technology! I didn't plan this but..

...this post is also about cellphones. Just discovered the best site, mentioned on Adam Curry's podcast, http://bushprotest.blogspot.com. Looks like it went online yesterday, and is built around the concept of 'mobcasting', defined as when people have an easy avenue to add to the public discussion, and a central repository to hear that discussion. "The Anonymous Protestor" has built a system where someone can call a number, enter a PIN, and give a mini-report. The system takes that message, converts it to mp3 and posts to the site. Excellent idea, and allows a full description of an event from many eyes, not just one corporate-sponsored one.
