Brevard county now has its own FloridaCreatives.com group, thanks to the initiative taken by Lawrence. We even have a logo that doesn't look like the second life logo (hah, couldn't resist Ryan.) The group is up to 16 members right now on the wiki, and discussion is getting started on the when's and where's of getting a happy hour going. It's looking like a healthy group coming together over here on the coast. So who is it for? What's it about? The Florida Creative meet ups have really been a

Join us for the very first IZEA Devasaurus. Devasaurus is a gathering of our local developer community at IZEA headquarters in downtown Orlando. It's a chance for you to connect with local nerds while chowing down on free food and drink. Over the past 6 months we have been putting a major emphasis opening up our platforms and data to outside developers. We will be using Devasaurus events to share our innovations with you, give early access to APIs, and let you help shape our future. At this particular Devasaurus we will be unveiling a new social media platform, designed for developers from the ground up. We will also be announcing a developer contest where the designer of the best widget will win $5000. If you can code or you blog you want to be there.

In the chaos that followed Kenya's disputed presidential election last December, 1,200 people were killed, and several hundred thousand more fled their homes. Skeptical of the accuracy of official reports, a group of Web developers and bloggers with Kenyan ties cobbled together a Web application that could receive citizen incident reports via text message from any mobile phone in Kenya and display them as a Google Maps application. Cofounded by Erik Hersman, an American son of missionary parents who was raised in Kenya (he is author of the blog Whiteafrican.com and now lives in Florida), the group called the creation Ushahidi--the Swahili word for "testimony." They have formed a nonprofit company and are finalizing funding with a large foundation to turn Ushahidi into a platform that can be deployed easily and rapidly in areas of crisis. Already, a version of Ushahidi is being used to track anti-­immigrant violence afflicting South Africa.

A slow project this one. Ask as many people as I can remember to do when I’ve got my camera with me to answer a “simple” question - “What is the web for?” I tried it out at the Tuttle Club a few weeks ago. This is what came out of the mouths of some of the Smartest People in Social Media (TM) So there are two ways I want to take this forward. I want to do it with a more diverse group of people, and I want to edit a bunch of them together in a watchable way. Your thoughts on how to do this are welcome. I have more. I will release them. Soon.
