Google Highlights Darfur

Posted by Jacob on April 11, 2007

Google is doing something that is certainly not evil, they are adding information to Google Earth about the crisis in Darfur.

Now international humanitarian crisis generally fall outside of this blog’s audience and purpose, but there are some things that we have to point out.

The crisis in Darfur is unimaginable, but what is more unimaginable is the inaction of many people in the United States and other areas of the minority world. For example this news item appeared not in Wired or another American tech publication, but in Al Jezeera’s English edition. Al Jazeera people!
