Ushahidi

Crowdmapping

Ushahidi was initially developed to map reports of violence in Kenya after the post-election violence in 2008. Since then, thousands have used the crowdsourcing tool to raise their voice. Ushahidi allows users to receive reports with automatic alerts from many sources including SMS, email, and Twitter as well as visualizing street and satellite map tiles provided by Open Street Maps, MapQuest, and more.
