Here's a rough summary of presentations from last weeks forum on Information & Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) held at Harvard University, The ever articulate and brilliant Ethan Zuckerman recaps a variety of presentations on design considerations, power dynamics, and gender, etc. in ICT, on the Global Voices blog.

Speaking of ICT, and also on Global Voices, is this quickee overview of various (but not new) experiments with mobile phones supporting farmers and small entreprenuers in the developing world.

A lot more, and more recent examples of mobile phone activities in the social sector on the Mobile Active site.
