Hi Andy and everyone -- I am trusting out compatriots on this list who are from Katrina affected areas are with friends and family, safe.
Like others, i'm blown away by how many people across the US have signed up on the MoveOn.org site to offer up housing. My question is, how can this databased information be connected to text-to-speech software and made available on an 800-number? I ask because I am wondering who is going to see the website? Conversely, are there efforts to connect this information to Salvation Army, Red Cross etc housing efforts for the displaced? Wishing all the best in these difficult times for many, lars -- Lars Hasselblad Torres Researcher and Web Developer AmericaSpeaks 802-223-4288 www.americaspeaks.org join the movement for deliberative democracy: www.deliberative-democracy.net On 8/30/05 12:04 PM, "Andy Carvin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I've just launched an open blog and mobcast for people interested in > following the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: > > http://katrina05.blogspot.com/ > > The blog is set up so that anyone can post a blog entry, podcast or > photo to the site.
