What you see in this image is one of my greatest satisfaction ever!
My mother, on the right side, is using Google Images, to identify actors on historical movie pictures. This is necessary in her job to archive thousands of photos of the ASC – Archivio Storico del Cinema, my father’s historical archive of movie pictures.
She discovered the Web recently but now she is a great fan!
We are just few hours from the official starting of the FSCA-PISA workshop on ComDev. It is night and I’m almost closing my laptop after having prepared the latest documents for tomorrow.
This afternoon, during “day 0“, the first important goal was achieved: the Social Reporting Team met to discuss our activities and share the tasks. We decided to go for pictures, podcasting and blog posts. Video is a possibility but we have to find time and support for that.
As you can see in the picture, the Team is officially (and initially) composed by Oumar Ndiaye (Senegal), Thierno Souleymane Bah (Guinee), Mamadu Aliu Djalo (Guinee-Bissau) and myself.
Follow us and you’ll have a great experience!

The creation of subtitles for videos on YouTube is very easy.
Proceed as follows:
- upload your video on YouTube,
- in the list of your “Uploaded videos”, select the one you want to manage and click on Edit,
- in the settings check for the tab “Subtitles“
- download the automatic transcription of the voice (it is actually automatic for English voices only, but the file itself can help anyway with the time schedule of the voice),
- prepare the translation, create a Caption file on the basis of the transcription and upload it,
- your video is now ready to be in two or more languages!

Few weeks after the announcement, I had the chance to use the new interface twitter.com launched to increase its usability.
The black top bar and the wider right column are the main new visual features. They came together with the possibility to immediately visualize photos and videos shared by others and other minor changes.
I found it a good step ahead, being the site more usable and the main page becoming a sort of intro to your profile. More than before, twitter is presenting itself not only as a place for geeks but mainly as a tool for knowledge sharing with a broad audience: latest stats say users are over 190 million (more than 1 million are from Italy: http://cot.ag/bzoKmS).
This is why I’m strongly suggesting to the networks I support to adopt it. Onda Rural is actually using it quite well, Carimac will be doing soon as well as the CSDI project and the FAO Rural radio website. Their public can be very wide, the tool is flexible and dynamic (mostly thanks to third party applications) and the use is very easy, adapt for every kind of editorial team.
