PERHAPS THE WORLD'S ONLY ANALOG BLOGGER


Motherboard - In Monrovia, Liberia, there's a guy taking the matter of a lopsided, state-run media and reshaping it into a free-of-charge, independent news-aggregator - all accomplished with dry-erase board and couple markers. Each morning, at 10:45 AM, Alfred Sirleaf wakes up and heads down to his bulletin board to post the day's news, culling together a slate of stories his countrymen might otherwise never see. Grateful readers line up in droves, on foot and in cars, to read these updates, in what has been described as the country's - and probably the world's - only analog blog.
