The podcast is ready and waiting for you! This week we take a look at the online side of the attacks in Mumbai from the shape of data to the aid on the ground. If you would like to follow up and visit the sites you heard in the show, here's where you can find them:


  • Gaurav Mishra is the Yahoo fellow in communications technology and intermational values at Georgetown University - he primarily does on developing countries and talks about the shape of information online during crisis reporting.

  • Kamla Bhatt is the host and producer of an award winning syndicated online radio about life, people and ideas. She tells us her online decisions as events unfolded.

  • Peter Griffin is a journalist, blogger and is part of a of people who try their best to organise aid, provide support and help those affected in a crisis.
  • December 1st was also World Aids Day so we dropped into Second Life to chat with Jenaia Morane who is helping to create a special place for support and celebration.
