Web 2.0 & The Change Agents

Beware of the Grandma :) . It’s really touching to know how a Malaysian granny is using web 2.0 in politics to spread the awareness and the message. Cyndy Aleo-Carreira on Profy has the details. Examples like these actually makes you happy how people have taken the internet to the grass-roots levels and how they are using the tools to bring about the change in the society. My vote for the granny. India is such a big country and I constantly complain to myself, why don’t we have such grassroots particpation. Even the intellectuals doesn’t seem to connect over something here. Is it that we are too talkative and less action oriented. Have seen some initiatives like e-panchayat and babajobs but they are very few. I would really like to know if these kind of initiative exists in India and if you are aware about it, please do let me know.
