TheHub and a "World of Witnesses"

In light of recent events in Kenya,South Africa and the ongoing crisis in Zimbabwe the work of TheHub presented by Witness becomes even more pertinent. It "...is the world's first participatory media site for human rights. Through the Hub, individuals, organizations, networks and groups around the world are able to bring their human rights stories and campaigns to global attention and to mobilize action to protect and promote human rights..." These and other citizen empowering tools such as Ushaidi acting in concert, broaden the possibilities of a "World of Witnesses" as described recently in the Economist.
