We've had an exceptionally good month due to the release into beta of our software tool called GeoChat. We're testing it with users in Asia and in Africa and so far it's been well-received.
As a result of the news percolating out, InSTEDD has been covered, one way or another, by the local affiliate's ABC Evening News, by CBS Radio, by Business Week, Lancet, Nature, New Scientist, and more than thirty blogs.
For those who might like to check out a sample of what people are saying about GeoChat, a free and open source SMS and mapping-based tool designed for group messaging under stressful conditions, here you go: You can see the ABC Evening News television broadcast here, the Nature article here, the CBS Radio article here, and the New Scientist article here.

How can I learn more about GeoChat? We are developing a campaign for global rule of law using mobile tech: http://ijcentral.org and it sounds like GeoChat is a platform we could use.
Paco,
We'd be glad to discuss your project and explore how GeoChat might serve your needs. Please drop a note to info@instedd.org and we'll certainly get in touch with you.
Warm Regards,
Robert Kirkpatrick
CTO, InSTEDD
