    • Find data sources, manage incoming data and bring awareness to project

What is the current process for solving this problem?

  • never been exposed to a platform like this

What do they expect this platform to do for them?

  • trying to link in Facebook and twitter, mostly twitter — has found the “youngsters” use this because the idea of citizen journalism is still in infancy

What is the value of this tool to their organization?

  • He really doesn’t have any money to pay, but this would be invaluable to him.

  • If no numerical value is placed on it, have them describe the value

Key positive comments from user:

  • generally extremely excited to use this platform. Thinks it can make a huge difference in bringing awareness to the oppressive ethiopian government.

Key negative comments from user:

  • Needed a full walk through

  • we hadn’t approved him for a grassroots application. *note* -- this is because we asked him for more budget, not understanding the full story. We thought they were 4 swedish bloggers. not the case.
