MobiChange in Round 2 of Knight News Challenge 2009
I have some good news: MobiChange is through to round 2 of the $5 million Knight News Challenge 2009.
MobiChange is my work-in-progress muse project: an open-source, multi-lingual mobile social networking platform, accessible by voice and SMS, designed to support local communities and help mobilize social change. I had earlier written about submitting MobiChange for the Knight News Challenge.
The Knight News Challenge is a great fit for MobiChange both in terms of the stage the idea is in and amount of funding required to realize the idea. Other contests like NetSquared USAID Development 2.0 Challenge and Vodafone Americas Foundation Wireless Innovation Challenge either offer a very small grant or fund projects in a different development stage. So, getting funded by Knight News Challenge may be the most important thing for MobiChange now.
Of course, the Knight News Challenge has multiple rounds of screening and the winners will only be announced in Fall 2009. MobiChange itself is evolving as an idea, I'm still in the process of putting together the rest of the team, the actual development work may only start in Spring 2009, and my grand vision for MobiChange may only be realized by end of 2010. So, MobiChange promises to be a very long journey of (self-)discovery for me.
Still, every long journey begins with a first step, and getting through round one of the Knight News Challenge is a great first step.
The deadline for round 2 of the Knight News Challenge is November 30, so you'll hear more on MobiChange soon.
I really enjoy reading this post.Thanks for blog.
